Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). For hassle-free clean-up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved fingerling potatoes with the olive oil. Add in the minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, and season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss everything together until each potato half is thoroughly coated with the mixture.

      Spread the Potatoes: Place the seasoned fingerling potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are arranged in a single layer to promote even roasting.

        Roasting Phase 1: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they develop a golden brown color and are tender when tested with a fork.

          Add Cheese: After the initial roasting, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starts to turn a lovely golden hue.

            Garnish and Serve: Once finished, take the potatoes out of the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately alongside lemon wedges, which can be squeezed over the potatoes for a delightful citrusy kick.
