Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. If the potatoes are larger than bite-sized, cut them in half or quarters to ensure even baking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.

Step 4

Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated in the marinade.

Step 5

Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the potatoes and toss again to ensure the sesame seeds adhere to the surface.

Step 6

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The potatoes are ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a minute before transferring them to a serving plate.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of color and freshness.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on their own as a snack!
