Ingredients
Scale
15 to 20 baby potatoes, thoroughly washed
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic (or garlic powder)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Garlic cloves (with skin on) for garnish
Fresh chives, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Step 2: Prep the potatoes by cutting a thin lengthwise slice off the bottom of each potato to create a flat surface. Place two chopsticks on opposite sides of a potato and cut small squares into the top, stopping when your knife hits the chopsticks. Repeat for all potatoes. Step 3: Pour melted butter over the potatoes and brush them to coat the cuts. Step 4: In a bowl, mix the parmesan, black pepper, garlic, paprika, salt, and Italian seasoning. Coat the potatoes with this mixture, making sure the seasoning goes between the squares. Step 5: Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet, ensuring even spacing. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Step 6: Once out of the oven, garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Cheesy Garlic Roasted Potatoes tips: For a more garlicky punch, roast whole garlic cloves with the potatoes and serve them alongside for extra flavor.
Potato roasting suggestions: Use baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a creamier texture inside.
For extra crunch, finish the potatoes under the broiler for the last 3-4 minutes of cooking.
