Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Prepare the Coating
- In a large mixing bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, paprika, and black pepper.
- Stir the mixture until evenly blended.
3. Season the Potatoes

4. Coat the Potatoes

5. Bake the Potatoes
