Preheat the oven at 420F.
Thouroughly wash and pat dry the fingerling potatoes.Cut them into halves lengthwise.
Next, melt the butter in the microwave using a microwave safe bowl, or melt the butter on the stove using a small skillet.
To a mixing bowl, add oil, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, red chili flakes, italian seasoning, salt and 1 Tbsp freshly chopped cilantro. We will use the rest of the freshly chopped cilantro for garnishing.
Add the cut potatoes to the mixing bowl. Mix until the potatoes are coated well.
On a baking tray drizzle a little bit of oil. Grease the baking tray.
Now add the potatoes one by one, flat side facing down. This will give you that beautiful golden crust on the potatoes.
Brush the remaining marinade from the mixing bowl on the potatoes.
Bake them for 30-35 mins. At 25 minute mark, take the potatoes out and sprinke the parmesan cheese. Place the potatoes back in the oven. Bake for 10 more minutes.
Take the Potatoes out of the oven. Use a spatula to take out. Serve in your favorite serving bowl, with a side of ranch or Sriracha Mayo.
