Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook unpeeled potatoes in boiling water for 15 minutes; drain and cool slightly.
- Quarter the cooled potatoes and spray with vegetable cooking spray.
- Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and paprika in a bowl.
- Coat the cut side of each potato in the bread crumb mixture.
- Arrange the coated potatoes on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, try parboiling the potatoes for 10 minutes instead of 15. If you don't have Italian seasoned bread crumbs, you can use plain bread crumbs mixed with dried oregano, basil, and garlic powder for added flavor. Experiment with different cheeses like Pecorino Romano or nutritional yeast for a vegan option. Make sure to allow enough space between the potatoes on the baking sheet for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
These roasted new potatoes make a fantastic side dish for grilled meats or fish, and they pair beautifully with Mediterranean recipes like Greek Style Hummus or Stuffed Squash Cooked In Yogurt. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roasted new potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them out on a baking sheet and place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use larger potatoes for this recipe?
