Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Parmesan Roasted Potatoes - made October 20, 2012 from What's Gaby Cooking

Yukon Gold

I still had 2 potatoes leftover from the Slow Cooker Potato and Ham Soup recipe so I went hunting on pinterest for an easy recipe that would use them up and found this from What's Gaby Cooking.  One potato was Yukon Gold and the other was Russet so I made them in two separate baking dishes and split the recipe between them.  I liked the Yukon Gold a bit better than the Russet but both were pretty good.  I have bland taste buds, however, so the recipe was a little salty for me.  Next time I would cut back on the garlic salt and regular salt or else use more potatoes as I didn't have quite 4 cups when I made this.  Otherwise, I think this is a nice easy side dish to make for dinner.  It's not too early to start thinking about that Thanksgiving menu.....

Russet

4 cups cubed Yukon Gold potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. Place the cubed potatoes into a baking dish. (The cubes of potatoes should be about 3/4 of an inch on all sides) You can spray the baking dish with a baking spray too to eliminate anything possibly sticking
3. Pile on the olive oil, garlic salt, salt, paprika, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Using your fingers, or a spoon if you feel inclined, get in to the potatoes and carefully mix everything around until the seasonings coat each potato.
4. Transfer the baking dish into the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss the potatoes with a pair of tongs. Put the baking dish back into the oven and bake for about 15 – 25 minutes more until they are golden and crispy.
