Ingredients/Variations
This recipe is easy to prep and easy to bake!
POTATOES Baby potatoes are my favorite to use in this recipe, but russets, reds, and even purple potatoes will work as well.
Look for firm potatoes that are evenly sized so they roast uniformly. Rinse off any dirt and wipe them dry with a paper towel before cutting.
BUTTER These potatoes are coated in unsalted, melted butter. If using salted butter, be sure to adjust the salt to your liking when seasoning the potatoes.
CHEESE This is one place you definitely want to use the powdery grated parmesan cheese, I find it adheres better than shredded cheese.
The shredded parmesan variety will work too but the grated works best!
SEASONINGS Classic seasonings like oregano and garlic powder are great but you can use whatever your favorites are.
Depending on what you are serving these with, try tossing the potatoes in taco, ranch, or everything bagel seasoning for a flavorful twist!
