Oven Baked Cheesy Potatoes
Description
This recipe starts by chopping red potatoes into chunks that allow them to cook evenly and develop a tender interior. Tossing the potatoes with coconut oil and seasonings including granulated garlic and parsley enhances their flavor and helps them brown during baking at 400°F. The potatoes bake until golden and can be briefly broiled to achieve a crispy exterior.
After baking, the potatoes are covered with shredded mozzarella cheese and returned to the oven just long enough to melt it, layering a smooth, stretchy texture over the soft potatoes. This combination offers contrasting textures between the tender potatoes and the creamy cheese, making it a simple but satisfying dish.
The dish works well as a hearty side for various meals, providing familiar flavors without complex preparation. Serving fresh preserves the cheese melt and potato texture best.

- 3 potato chopped, red
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
