Parmesan Crusted Potatoes Recipe
This parmesan crusted potatoes recipe is based on my viral parmesan crusted carrots. It's a wonderfully simple side dish that has a ton of flavor and goes well with nearly every main.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb mini potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the mini potatoes and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside until they're cool enough to handle.1 ½ lb mini potatoes
- Cut the potatoes in half and place them in a bowl (or back into the pot if you don't want to dirty another dish). Add the olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and mix well.1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle on the parmesan cheese and then place the potatoes, cut side facing down, onto the parmesan.2 cups grated parmesan cheese
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and the cheese has melted. If the potatoes are golden but not quite tender, lower the oven rack to prevent burning while they finish cooking. Let them cool for 5 minutes so the parmesan crisps before you remove them from the pan.
Notes
Potatoes: I like using mini potatoes as their starch content means they get all creamy and buttery inside, but their thin skins develop a delicious, delicate crust on the outside. If needed, you can substitute quartered red or yellow potatoes.
Parmesan: It's best grate straight from a block! Use the smallest holes on your grater for a sand-like result. Pre-packaged, grated parmesan doesn’t have the same flavor or texture, as there are additives to keep it from going bad. And don't use the shelf-stable shakers, as the 'cheese' in those doesn't melt.
