Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs red potatoes, cut into 1 to 2 inch pieces
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika powder
- ½ fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed, of 1/2 a lemon
- ⅓ fresh chives, or parsley, chopped
- ¾ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Instructions
- In large heavy pot, par boil potato pieces until just barely tender when pierced, 3-5 minutes, depending on size of your pieces. Drain and run under cold water.
- Preheat oven to 375F, with rack on middle position. Line baking pan with foil and set aside.
- Combine melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, fresh lemon juice, and chives in a large bowl. Whisk together well, and toss well with drained potatoes until completely coated.
- Spread coated potatoes in a single layer on prepared pan. Sprinkle evenly with parmesan cheese.
- Bake uncovered, 35 min. or until cheese is melty and bubbly and golden brown. Actual bake time will vary depending on size of cut potatoes. Serve warm.
Notes
- Parboiling the red potatoes before roasting is a crucial step. It helps to tenderize the potatoes and allows them to absorb the flavors from the butter, garlic, and seasonings.
- When parboiling the potatoes, make sure to drain and rinse them under cold water. This will stop the cooking process and also prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
- Be generous with the parmesan cheese. It creates a delicious, crispy crust on the potatoes.
