Description
These crispy garlic parmesan baby potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal, offering a delightful crunch and robust flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb baby yellow potatoes
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain and steam dry; let them sit in the colander for 5 minutes. This allows excess moisture to evaporate, which helps the potatoes crisp in the oven.
- Smash the potatoes and transfer them to a large baking sheet. Using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
- Season the potatoes with olive oil and melted butter, then season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
- Place the potatoes in the oven and roast for 18 minutes, until they begin to turn golden and crispy around the edges.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the potatoes with fresh garlic and parmesan cheese. Toss lightly so the garlic and cheese coat the potatoes.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are deeply golden and the parmesan becomes crispy.
- Finish and serve with fresh parsley and serve immediately while the potatoes are hot and crispy.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add additional herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- Be sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet for maximum crispiness.
