Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 2 pounds red potatoes halved
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional Topping
  • 1/4 cup sour cream Optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved red potatoes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until they are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are tender and slightly browned.
  5. While the potatoes are roasting, mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil with the Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  6. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the cheese and spice mixture over the hot potatoes and toss gently to coat.
  7. Serve the roasted potatoes warm. Offer sour cream on the side if desired.

Notes

This recipe was inspired by a summer barbecue where simple sides made a big impact. You can substitute russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for red potatoes. For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried rosemary to the spice mixture before roasting.
