Garlic Parmesan and Potatoes

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30-35 minutes
Serves: 4-6
Intensity: Easy

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Potatoes:
   • Wash and halve or quarter the baby potatoes, depending on their size, to ensure they cook evenly.
3. Make Garlic Parmesan Mixture:
   • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat Potatoes:
   • Place the halved or quartered potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan mixture over the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated.
5. Roast Potatoes:
   • Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through cooking for even browning.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Once the potatoes are roasted to your desired crispness, remove them from the oven.
   • Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor (optional).
   • Serve the garlic Parmesan roasted potatoes hot as a delicious side dish with your favorite main course.

Tips:

• You can customize the seasoning by adding other herbs or spices like paprika, onion powder, or Italian seasoning to the garlic Parmesan mixture.
• For extra cheesy potatoes, sprinkle some additional grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes during the last few minutes of roasting.
• These potatoes pair well with grilled or roasted meats, poultry, or even as a tasty addition to a vegetarian meal. Enjoy!
