Crispy Herbed Parmesan Potatoes
These crispy herbed Parmesan potatoes are coated in a dried herb and cheese mixture and roasted until crispy on the outside and creamy and tender inside. They're completely irresistible.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds new potatoes (about 24), halved or quartered, if large (each piece should be about 1 inch [25 mm])
Instructions
- Set the oven rack to the middle position and crank the heat to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the cheese, herbs, garlic and onion powders, a generous pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Lightly coat the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch (23-by 33-cm) baking dish with olive oil and evenly cover the dish with the cheese mixture.
☞ TESTER TIP: Using a glass baking dish for these potatoes will allow you to keep an eye on the color of the cheese as they cook.
- Press the potatoes, cut side down, into the cheese mixture. Drizzle the backs of the potatoes with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the potatoes until softened and the cheese is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Take care not to cook for too long or the Parmesan may turn bitter.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, cut between the potatoes, if needed, to release them, and pile into a warm serving bowl.
