Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

 Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

Parmesan crusted potatoes are a delicious side dish or an appetizer encompassing the savory flavour of Parmesan cheese with the crispy texture of roasted potatoes. Easy to make and bursting with flavour. 

15 baby potatoes

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 

4 tbsp butter 

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 

2 cloves garlic, minced

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

Wash potatoes thoroughly and pat dry. Bring the potatoes to boil in a pot of salted water and cook for approximately 10 minutes until potatoes are semi cooked. 

In a baking dish combine the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes. Mix well until a paste is formed, then evenly spread over the bottom of the pan. 

Allow the potatoes to cool for 5 - 10 minutes then slice in half lengthwise.  Place the potatoes cut side down in the baking dish, then brush with melted butter and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.  

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are crisp and golden brown on the bottom. 

Notes 

I prefer fingerling or red potatoes for this recipe but feel free to use your preferred potato.
