Enjoy your crispy and flavorful Parmesan Potato Bites, perfect as a snack or side dish!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, and thyme. Add the baby potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Bake Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Add Parmesan: Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot potatoes. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the Parmesan potato bites to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Notes
- Crispiness Tip: Ensure the potatoes are dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Cheese Variation: Try using other types of cheese, like Pecorino Romano, for a different flavor.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a dipping sauce, such as marinara or aioli, for added flavor.
