Crispy Garlic Herb Potato Bites (Oven-Baked)

1. Prepare the Potatoes
   Wash and peel the potatoes (optional). Cut them into small, even cubes for uniform cooking.

2. Parboil (Optional but Recommended)
   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato cubes for 5–7 minutes until just tender. Drain well and let them steam-dry for a few minutes.

3. Season
   In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley until evenly coated.

4. Bake
   Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.
   Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

5. Roast
   Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

6. Finish & Serve
   Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with Parmesan or chili flakes if desired. Serve hot.
