#### **Step 3: Season Generously**
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the potatoes are well-coated with seasoning.
#### **Step 4: Roast to Crispy Perfection**
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
#### **Step 5: Optional Cheese Upgrade**
For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
