Parmesan potatoes
HB-14736 · Hand-built original
Halved new potatoes roasted cut-side down on a bed of Parmesan with garlic and rosemary, so the cheese forms a crisp golden crust.
Main ingredient: parmesan
Ingredients
- 1¾oz finely grated Parmesan
- 1lb 2oz new potatoes, washed and patted dried with a clean tea towel
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium garlic cloves, finely grated
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Method
- Heat the oven to 400°F before the potatoes are prepared.
- Line a large roasting tin with baking paper and sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan evenly across the paper's base.
- Halve the new potatoes and score each cut side with a criss-cross pattern so the flesh cooks evenly and drinks in more flavour.
- Toss the scored potatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, finely grated garlic cloves, chopped rosemary and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper.
- Set the potatoes cut-side down onto the Parmesan bed, leaving a little space between the pieces.
- Roast the potatoes near the top of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the flesh is tender and the cheese underneath turns golden.
- Rest the tin for 5 to 10 minutes so the Parmesan crust firms slightly, scatter the chopped parsley over the potatoes if using it, then scoop the potatoes out in sections and serve.
