Ingredients

  • 750 g / 1.5 lb baby potatoes, halved (about 3.5cm / 1.75″, 20 – 24 potatoes)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Parmesan Mixture:

  • 1/2 cup / 50 g grated parmesan (sand-like type)

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or substitute with onion powder)

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional for lower sodium)

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Dipping Sauce (Optional):

  • 3/4 cup sour cream (or substitute with plain yogurt)

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions/scallions (or chives)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) (180°C fan-forced).

  • In a bowl, combine the parmesan mixture ingredients.

  • Drizzle olive oil in a 22 x 33 cm (9 x 13") glass baking dish, tilting to coat evenly.

  • Scatter the parmesan mixture over the base of the dish, spreading it as evenly as possible.

  • Place the potatoes cut side down in the pan, pressing firmly. Optionally, drizzle with a bit more oil or spray with oil and sprinkle with salt.

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and the parmesan crust is deep golden.

  • Once done, rest for 5 minutes.

  • Use a spatula to gently cut between every 4 potatoes, breaking through the parmesan crust. Flip the potatoes so the cheese side is up.

  • Serve with the optional dipping sauce and garnish with extra green onions or chives.

Notes

  • Cheese Variations: Swap out parmesan for pecorino romano for a different flavor.

  • Herbs: Add fresh rosemary or thyme for added fragrance.

  • Spice it up: Add cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the parmesan mixture for some heat.

  • Vegan: Use plant-based parmesan for a dairy-free version.

  • Extra Crunch: Coat the potatoes in breadcrumbs along with the parmesan mixture for added texture.
