Cheesy Roasted Red Skin Potatoes

Ingredients for cheesy roasted red skin potatoes

On July 14, I posted up my recipe for Herb Roasted Sweet Potatoes. I love anything having to do with taters. Here is another recipe for oven roasting potatoes, this time using baby red skin potatoes and a bit of Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients for Cheesy Roasted Red Skin Potatoes

• 1 1/2 pounds baby, red skin potatoes - approximately 2 inch diameter or less
• 1/4 cup light olive oil
• 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
• 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• salt to taste

Potatoes coated with olive oil

Directions for Cheesy Roasted Red Skin Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Farhenheit.
2. Wash the potatoes well, and remove any damaged spots. Baby potatoes can be left whole, any potatoes larger than 2 inches should be cut in half or thirds.
3. Pat the potatoes dry with a clean cloth.
4. Place the washed potatoes into a large mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the herbes de Provence, Parmesan cheese, black pepper and garlic powder.
6. Sprinkle the herb and spice mixture over the potatoes and toss until well coated.
7. Place the potatoes on a large baking sheet.
8. Bake the potatoes for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Recipe Hints and Suggestions
Parmesan cheese is very salty. You may not need to add any additional salt after adding the Parmesan cheese to the potatoes.

Herbes de Provence is a combination of thyme, basil, savory, fennel and lavender. You can buy pre-made mixtures of herbes de Provence, in the grocery store, or make up your own mixture.

Hi Joan,

Thank you for visiting my blogs. I started Bike Diva in 2008, and a few months ago thought about starting a whole Diva Network to consolidate all my blogs, that were on other sites. So I took the plunge and bought a bunch of diva domain names. Now I just have to find the time to keep them all active!

Take care,
