Ingredients
- 3 pounds baby potatoes

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat dry. Cut any potatoes larger than 1 ½ inches in diameter in half for even roasting.

- Step 4: Spread the coated potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, placing cut sides down if halved.
- Step 5: Roast the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and beginning to brown around the edges.
- Step 6: Increase the oven temperature to broil and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the skins turn golden and crisp. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Step 7: Remove from the oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- For extra crispiness, make sure the potatoes are dry before tossing with the mayo.
- If you don’t have cowboy mayo, mix regular mayo with a bit of smoked paprika and garlic powder as a substitute.
- Try adding chopped rosemary or thyme with the parsley for an herby flavor twist.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness rather than microwaving, which can make them soggy.
