Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes (or small gold potatoes)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut each potato in half, and if they are particularly large, cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.

Step 4

Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the fresh rosemary and thyme over the potatoes.

Step 7

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot potatoes.

Step 9

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Take the potatoes out of the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
