Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (220 C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper; set aside.
Clean potatoes if needed. Halve or quarter into roughly 1-inch pieces.
1.5 pounds (about 500 grams) baby red potatoes
Place potatoes in a large bowl, then add cheese, 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil, paprika, rosemary, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat potatoes evenly with the oil and spices. Add more olive oil only if needed to make the spices into enough of a paste that they adhere well to the potatoes.
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
Spread potatoes in a single, even layer on the baking sheet. Bake until crispy and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Prep Ahead: Although these are very easy to roast while the rest of your dinner cooks and take out of the oven right when you want to eat, they can also be made earlier in the day if needed. Just be sure to re-warm them in the oven, rather than the microwave, to keep that delicious crispy texture.
Shortcut: The seasoning blend as written is truly my favorite, but if you're in a major hurry, substitute 3 heaping teaspoons of Italian seasoning and take it from there.
