Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound mini gold potatoes (scrubbed and halved)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese (freshly grated, a heaping 3/4 cup)
• 2 teaspoons truffle oil (optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. 2

   Grate the cheese directly over an 8x10-inch or similarly sized baking dish, then spread into a single layer.

3. 3

   Nestle the potatoes tightly beside each other in rows in the baking dish, cut side down, so you have a potato "sheet."

4. 4

   Bake until the Parmesan is deep golden brown, about 50 to 65 minutes, depending upon your dish and oven.

5. 5

   Let cool, until the cheese hardens into a delish crispy layer, about 5 minutes. Drizzle the truffle oil over the top (if using). Use a spatula to wiggle them out of the pan. DEVOUR!
