✔️ ½ tsp ground paprika
✔️ ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
✔️ Black pepper, to taste
✔️ Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)
To Serve (Optional):

Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 420°F (220°C). Place a rimmed baking sheet inside to heat up.
2️⃣ Season the potatoes: Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
3️⃣ Roast: Remove the hot baking sheet, lightly coat it with oil, and spread potatoes cut-side down in a single layer. Tuck in rosemary sprigs.
4️⃣ Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra crunch!
5️⃣ Garnish & serve: Sprinkle with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh parsley. Enjoy hot!
Notes
🔥 No need to parboil—baby potatoes roast beautifully on their own!
🔥 Skip parchment paper or silicone mats—they trap moisture and prevent crisping.
🔥 Don’t skimp on oil—a light coating ensures the best golden-brown crunch!
🔥 Add minced garlic or citrus zest after roasting to avoid burning.
