Parmesan Garlic Crash Hot Potatoes
Description
This recipe begins by roasting halved red potatoes cut side down until their surfaces develop a golden-brown crispness. Flipping the potatoes over, they are smashed lightly to create varied surfaces that crisp nicely during the second roast. Olive oil brushed on top helps the crust form, while the mixture of minced garlic and freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds savory depth and a nutty, salty finish.
After seasoning with kosher salt and cracked black pepper, the potatoes bake again until the topping is browned and the potatoes are tender inside with crispy edges. The dish is finished with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for color and a hint of herbal brightness. These potatoes offer a satisfying combination of soft interiors with textured, flavorful crusts.
Ingredients
- 7 red potatoes cut in half, large
- 6 tablespoons olive oil , divided
- 4 cloves garlic , minced
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese , I use freshly grated using a Microplane Grater
