Easy Oven Baked Parmesan Potatoes Recipe
My delicious parmesan potatoes: look at that crunchy golden crust! These are to die for: cheesy fried potato bits baked in the oven.
- 2 1/2 lbs oven potatoes (1,150 kg)
- 3,5 oz parmesan cheese (100 g), grated
- 1 tbsp paprika powder
- 1 tbsp dried herbs
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- pepper
- salt
-
Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil over high heat. In the meantime scrub the potatoes under cold running tap water. You can peel them if you like, I kept the skins on (makes it extra crunchy, believe me!). Then chop the potatoes into small bite-size little cubes. Once the water is boiling, add the chopped potatoes.
-
Cook the potatoes for 5 minutes until blanched but still crunchy. Don't overcook them! Then immediately drain the potatoes and refresh them under cold running tap water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool a little. Pour the potatoes on a large baking tray and spread them out evenly. Sprinkle the potatoes with the paprika powder and dried herbs. Season with a good dash of pepper and salt.
-
Drizzle with the olive oil.
-
Sprinkle with half of the grated parmesan cheese.
-
Carefully stir the potatoes then so that they are all coated well with the olive oil, parmesan cheese and seasonings. Place the baking tray in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes until cooked. Stir the potatoes again halfway through cooking time. In the end the potatoes should be a little browned around the edges and nicely crisp. You can place them under a hot grill for a couple of minutes if you want to add some extra crunch. Transfer the parm potatoes to a clean bowl. Sprinkle with the rest of the grated parmesan, a pinch of salt and serve immediately while still hot.
