Crispy Roasted Parmesan Potatoes
These Crispy Roasted Parmesan Potatoes are one of my favorite ways to eat potatoes. They are covered in parmesan crispies, flavored with herbs and perfectly soft on the inside. And when you dip them in this deviled egg-inspired sauce? Faghettaboutit.
HOW TO MAKE CRISPY ROASTED PARMESAN POTATOES
A key step to making good roasted potatoes is rinsing with cool water and thoroughly drying them before slathering them up with oil and seasoning. This helps keep them from getting soggy. It’s an extra step, but well worth it. After you’ve washed, peeled, rinsed and dried you’re ready to season with dried thyme, basil, salt and parmesan cheese—our star ingredient!
Once they are fully coated, pop them in a 425 degree oven for 30-40 minutes and you’re good to go.
The Perfect Sauce for Crispy Roasted Parmesan Potatoes
Get your pencils out, this is a complicated one and you’re going to need to take notes. Here goes: mix two parts mayo and one part mustard, top with paprika. That’s it! So I was kidding about it being complicated. Whew, right? This sauce is so easy and even more scrumptious than it is easy if that makes sense. It is the PERFECT accompaniment for these potatoes. It’s creamy, rich and tangy which goes splendidly with starchy potatoes. It reminds me of deviled eggs and potato salad and that’s not a bad thing.
