A springtime blend added to potatoes creates a simple but powerful side dish. Garlic, paprika, and rosemary coat each bite with fresh flavor. Cornstarch makes the potatoes crispy, while Parmesan cheese finishes off the dish with a salty twang. This classic pairs perfectly with any meal and is great for a last-minute addition to the spread.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. If a convection setting is available, use convection at 425°F. Cut the potatoes into quarters.
3 lb new potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, cornstarch, black pepper, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and rosemary. Toss to combine and evenly coat the potatoes in the mixture.
Spread the potatoes out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated 425°F oven until the potatoes are crisp on the outside with a soft and creamy interior, 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a serving dish. Top with Parmesan cheese and parsley, and serve immediately.
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Notes
Ensure the potatoes are cut into even sizes, which will allow them the same amount of time to roast, giving the dish uniformity. The smaller the pieces are, the faster they'll roast.Using garlic powder works best for this recipe because of the high heat during roasting. Fresh garlic tends to burn at this level and length of roasting. This gives it a more bitter taste. The dried garlic powder gives the garlic taste without the bitterness.If available, use the convection setting on the oven when roasting the potatoes. This turns on a fan in the back of the oven. The fan helps circulate the hot air evenly around the oven. The potatoes get a crispy exterior while being all being roasted at a similar rate.
