Ingredients
Scale
- 750g / 1.5 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1/2 cup / 50g grated parmesan cheese (sand-like type)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3/4 cup sour cream (optional, for dipping sauce)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions/scallions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drizzle olive oil into a 9×13-inch glass baking dish and tilt it to spread evenly across the base.
- In a small bowl, mix the grated parmesan, garlic powder, oregano (or thyme), paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the halved baby potatoes, cut side down, into the baking dish, pressing them down firmly.
- Sprinkle the parmesan mixture evenly over the potatoes.
- Optionally, drizzle a little more olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with salt for extra flavor.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft on the inside and the parmesan crust is golden and crispy on the outside.
- Let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes, then flip them so the cheese side is up on a serving platter.
- Serve with dipping sauce (if using) and garnish with green onions or chives for a fresh touch.
Notes
- For the crispiest result, use grated parmesan cheese from the refrigerated section (the sand-like texture).
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the parmesan mixture.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but always check the parmesan for any additives.
