1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

How to make Parmesan Garlic Roasted Baby Potatoes
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Add the grated cheese, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Combine with a fork until incorporated.
Step 3: In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, drizzle olive oil. Tilt the pan to evenly coat the entire bottom of the pan with olive oil.
Step 4: Evenly sprinkle over the bottom of the pan the cheese mixture. Do this slowly.
Step 5: In a single layer over the cheese mixture, arrange the potatoes, cut side down. To ensure the potatoes are flat and in place, lightly press them down.
Step 6: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and the cheese is browned.
Step 7: Take the pan out of the oven but leave the potatoes in the pan for at least 5 minutes.
Step 8: With a small spatula, carefully remove the potatoes from the pan making sure that the cheese is intact. If needed, use a paring knife to slice the cheese between the potatoes.
Step 9: Transfer cheese side up on a serving platter.
Step 10: If desired, serve with sour cream or Greek yoghurt or a half-and-half mixture and sprinkle with chopped scallions or chives.
NOTE:
Reheat any leftovers in a medium-hot non-stick skillet. Place potatoes cheese side up in the pan and heat for about a minute or two. Use tongs to flip them over, cheesy side down, and continue heating for a minute or two more or until crispy and heated through.
