PARMESAN ROASTED POTATOES
One of the best ways in preparing cauliflower is to roast it with It’s one of the simplest and most flavorful ways to roast potatoes. Everything about this recipe screams “make me every day!”
My friends are begging me to make Gratinee’s garlic herb roasted potatoes ever since I started preparing them. When we were younger, we always requested butter-salted potatoes and mushrooms. Because we can peel and play with each piece of a newborn or new potato that is sliced horizontally, I prefer this preparation.
To that end, anytime they ask, I’m happy to oblige by whipping up a batch and seeing what happens. In order to make the dish more kid-friendly, I reduced the amount of thyme. Since cheese is a favorite among children, I sprinkled some on top of the potatoes.
The end product is mouthwatering roasted potatoes that only require ten minutes of active preparation time in the kitchen. The roasting process takes about an hour to achieve the right level of softness, but during that time, you can relax in front of the television or do your duties. The best part is that there is only one roasting pan to wash!
In order to get the greatest results, you should use new potatoes or baby potatoes. The skin on these tiny potatoes is thinner, so roasting them in the oven makes the skin crunchy and delicious. Golden and red skinned baby potatoes are commonly available in the market. The first is my preference since they have a better flavor and after roasting, they turn a beautiful golden brown hue!
