Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In small bowl, stir together Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper and Italian seasoning until mixed.
Pour olive oil into a 9 x- 13-inch glass baking dish making sure the oil coats the bottom completely.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture slowly and evenly over the entire oiled bottom of the baking dish.
Cut the baby potatoes in half and place them cut side down into the pan, pushing each one gently into the cheese mixture. Lightly spray the top of the potatoes and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, if desired.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender and cheese has turned golden brown. Let potatoes rest for several minutes before removing each one carefully from pan with a spatula and moving to a serving platter.
