Categories     Side

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

750 g / 1.5 lb baby potatoes (, halved (about 3.5cm / 1.75", 20 - 24 potatoes))
2 tbsp olive oil (, plus more for drizzling)
1/2 cup / 50 g grated parmesan (, the sand-like type (Note 1))
1/2 tsp garlic powder ((or sub with onion powder))
1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt ((I use table salt, leave out to lower sodium))
1/2 tsp black pepper
3/4 cup sour cream, or sub with plain yoghurt (, or a combination of both)
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions/scallions (, plus more for garnish (or chives))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
  • Mix Parmesan Mixture in a bowl.
  • Drizzle oil in 22 x 33cm / 9 x 13" glass baking dish (Note 2). Tilt pan to spread all over the base.
  • Use a spoon to scatter the Parmesan Mixture over the base. Spread as evenly as you can. Once sprinkled, do not touch - don't try to spread it.
  • Place potatoes cut side down, pressing firmly.
  • Optional: drizzle top of potatoes with a touch of oil or spray with oil, then sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake potatoes for 35 - 40 minutes or until they are soft and the parmesan crust is deep golden (you can check through the glass!)
  • REST for 5 minutes. Then use an egg flip to cut between every 4 or so potatoes (i.e. cutting through the parmesan crust which bonds between each potato - see video), then scoop up 4 or so potatoes and flip them upside down so the cheese side is up on a serving platter.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauce, if using, and sprinkle over extra green onions if desired. Serve as a side dish or as nibbles!
