Ingredients

750g / 1.5 lb baby potatoes, halved

2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling

1/2 cup / 50g grated parmesan (sand-like consistency)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Optional Dipping Sauce:

3/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan-forced).
  2. Mix all Parmesan Mixture ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Drizzle oil into a 9×13” glass baking dish and tilt to coat the base evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over the base. Do not spread once placed.
  5. Place potatoes cut side down on the parmesan mixture, pressing firmly. Optionally drizzle with oil or spray and sprinkle with salt.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until potatoes are soft and crust is deep golden.
  7. Rest for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to cut through crust between groups of potatoes, then flip onto a serving dish with cheese side up.
  8. Serve with optional dipping sauce and garnish with extra green onions or chives.

Notes

  • Use finely grated parmesan from the refrigerated section for best results.
  • Do not use shredded parmesan or shelf-stable grated parmesan as they don’t crisp well.
  • Glass pans help the crust release better than metal pans.
  • Reheat leftovers cheese-side up at 200°C/400°F for 5 minutes.
