Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes halved
- Optional for Dipping:
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt mixed with chopped scallions or chives
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Cheese and Spice Mix: In a small bowl, mix the finely grated Parmesan cheese with garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Drizzle the olive oil in a glass baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the cheese and spice mixture over the bottom of the dish.
- Arrange the Potatoes: Place the potato halves cut side down into the dish, pressing them firmly against the cheese mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese has browned to form a crispy crust.
- Rest and Serve: Let the potatoes rest in the dish for a few minutes to allow the cheese to set before serving. Serve with a dip of sour cream or Greek yogurt mixed with scallions or chives.
Notes
For varied flavors, substitute Parmesan with Asiago or Romano cheese. Experiment with herbs like rosemary or thyme, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick. To reheat leftovers, use a skillet and heat cheese-side down to restore crispiness.
