Ingredients
Units
Scale
Baby Potatoes:
- 750 g / 1.5 lb baby potatoes, halved (about 3.5cm / 1.75″, 20 – 24 potatoes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Parmesan Mixture:
- 1/2 cup / 50 g grated parmesan, the sand-like type
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or sub with onion powder)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Dipping Sauce (Optional):
- 3/4 cup sour cream, or sub with plain yoghurt, or a combination of both
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions/scallions, plus more for garnish (or chives)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F (180C fan-forced).
- Drizzle oil in 22 x 33cm / 9 x 13″ glass baking dish. Tilt pan to spread all over the base.
- Use a spoon to scatter the Parmesan Mixture over the base. Spread as evenly as you can. Once sprinkled, do not touch – don’t try to spread it.
- Place potatoes cut side down, pressing firmly.
- Optional: drizzle top of potatoes with a touch of oil or spray with oil, then sprinkle with salt.
- Bake potatoes for 35 – 40 minutes or until they are soft and the parmesan crust is deep golden.
- REST for 5 minutes. Then use an egg flip to cut between every 4 or so potatoes, then scoop up 4 or so potatoes and flip them upside down so the cheese side is up on a serving platter.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce, if using, and sprinkle over extra green onions if desired. Serve as a side dish or as nibbles!
Mix Parmesan Mixture in a bowl.
Notes
- Use the grated parmesan that has a sand-like consistency sold in the refrigerated section.
- This works in a metal pan as well but potatoes come off slightly easier from glass.
- Adapted from various Parmesan Crusted Potato recipes.
- LEFTOVERS/MAKE AHEAD: Cool then refrigerate. Place in a baking pan cheese side UP and bake at 200C/400F for 5 minutes or until just heated through and cheese is crispy again.
