- Plenty of shredded Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all the ingredients needed for your Parmesan roasted baby potatoes. With fresh baby potatoes and flavorful Parmesan cheese, you can easily create this dish.
Step 2
It’s important to wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Place them under running water and scrub them to remove any dirt. Since we’ll be using the skin, clean washing will help with both texture and hygiene. If there’s a lot of dirt, you can gently scrape it off with a vegetable peeler or a brush.
Step 3
Line your oven tray with parchment paper. This prevents the potatoes from sticking to the tray and makes cleanup much easier. Once the parchment paper is in place, prepare your clean baby potatoes. If the baby potatoes are very large, cut them in half – this helps them cook through more evenly and makes them easier to arrange on the tray. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and arrange them neatly.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add flavor to the potatoes. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the baby potatoes. Olive oil helps to crisp up the exterior and enhances their flavor. Then, sprinkle a suitable amount of pink salt or regular salt to season them. Be careful not to add too much, as they can become too salty. Adjust the amount according to the quantity of potatoes.
Step 5
Place the prepared baby potatoes into a preheated oven to roast. Typically, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) for about 20 minutes before adding the potatoes. Adjust the temperature and time based on your oven’s specifications. Roast them for an initial 20 minutes.
Step 6
After 20 minutes, take the potatoes out of the oven and check their condition. They should be slightly golden and starting to cook through. If they are not yet tender or you prefer them crispier, proceed to the second roasting stage.
Step 7
Before sprinkling with Parmesan cheese, we’ll roast the potatoes for another 20 minutes to make them extra crispy. Return them to the oven and bake at 190°C (375°F) for an additional 20 minutes. It’s a good idea to check on the potatoes occasionally during this time to prevent burning. Roast until they are a delicious golden brown color.
Step 8
Once the second roasting is complete and you’ve taken the crispy potatoes out of the oven, it’s time to add the final flavor boost. While they are still warm, generously sprinkle plenty of shredded Parmesan cheese over them. The cheese will melt into the warm potatoes, adding a wonderfully cheesy and delicious aroma.
Step 9
Voila! Your ‘crispy outside, fluffy inside’ delicious Parmesan roasted baby potatoes are ready!
