These Italian Parmesan Crispy Baked Potatoes are guaranteed to be crispy every single time, offering a delicious side dish or snack. Whole small potatoes are boiled with baking soda and chicken bouillon until fork-tender, then drained and cut into bite-sized pieces. They are then tossed with a flavorful blend of avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt, along with a generous portion of grated parmesan cheese. Baked until golden brown and irresistibly crispy, with an extra sprinkle of parmesan for a cheesy finish.

    The baking soda helps break down the potato surface, promoting extra crispiness. Don't overcook, or they will be too mushy to cut.

    Once tender, drain the potatoes well. Let them cool slightly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. For extra crispiness, try to rough up the edges of the cut potatoes as they cool.

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even browning.

    A single layer is crucial for crispiness; if overcrowded, the potatoes will steam instead of roast.

    Once baked to crispy perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of grated parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes. Serve hot.
