Parmesan Crusted Potatoes
Crispy, golden Parmesan crust on the outside, soft and creamy potatoes inside, with a garlicky, slightly spicy kick. Easy to make, show-stopping side dish that everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 8 potatoes medium
- 80 g Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 30 g butter
- 20 g chili oil
Spices:
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
For topping:
- 30 g chili oil
- 3 cloves garlic pressed
- Salt to taste
- 30 g parmesan grated
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 220°C (top and bottom heat) so the Parmesan crust can caramelize beautifully.
- Create Parmesan Crust Base: Pour melted butter onto a baking tray, then drizzle chili garlic oil. Grate Parmesan directly onto the tray and sprinkle the spices and herbs over it. Shake the baking tray gently to mix everything evenly.
- Prepare Potatoes: Place potato halves cut-side down onto the Parmesan mixture and press gently so the crust sticks.
- Make Garlic Topping: Mix chili garlic oil, minced garlic, salt and chili flakes.
- Brush and Add Parmesan: Brush the garlic mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle extra grated Parmesan on top.
- Bake: Roast for about 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the Parmesan crust is deeply golden and crispy.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, top with fresh basil, and serve immediately.
