Tater Essentials Lemony Parmesan Potatoes Recipes

CRISPY ROASTED PARMESAN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/400F.
• Mix Parmesan Mixture in a bowl.
• Drizzle oil in 22 x 33cm / 9 x 13" glass baking dish (Note 2). Tilt pan to spread all over the base.
• Use a spoon to scatter the Parmesan Mixture over the base. Spread as evenly as you can. Once sprinkled, do not touch - don't try to spread it.
• Place potatoes cut side down, pressing firmly.
• Optional: drizzle top of potatoes with a touch of oil or spray with oil, then sprinkle with salt.
• Bake potatoes for 35 - 40 minutes or until they are soft and the parmesan crust is deep golden (you can check through the glass!)
• REST for 5 minutes. Then use an egg flip to cut between every 4 or so potatoes (i.e. cutting through the parmesan crust which bonds between each potato - see video), then scoop up 4 or so potatoes and flip them upside down so the cheese side is up on a serving platter.
• Serve with Dipping Sauce, if using, and sprinkle over extra green onions if desired. Serve as a side dish or as nibbles!

LEMON-PARMESAN ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until just tender, about 7 minutes; drain.
• Meanwhile, pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse crumbs; combine with the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and toss.
• Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and parmesan; continue roasting until golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, season with salt and serve with lemon wedges.

GREEK-STYLE OVEN-ROASTED LEMON-BUTTER PARMESAN POTATOES

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Butter a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the potatoes.
• Peel and cut the potatoes into large wedges and place into the prepared baking dish.
• In a bowl combine the broth, lemon juice, butter, oregano, salt, pepper and minced garlic (if using); mix well to combine.
• Pour over potatoes in the dish and stir to coat well.
• Cover the dish tightly with foil.
• Bake for about 40 minutes.
• Uncover and turn potatoes.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and return to oven (uncovered).
• Bake for another 20-30 minutes, or until potatoes are done to desired tenderness.
• Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
• *NOTE* the Parmesan may be sprinkled on just after baking if desired.

TATER ESSENTIALS: LEMONY PARMESAN POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. I love a good lemon/pepper spice, and usually will add more than what this recipe calls for. Basically, all it is, is finely chopped dried lemon zest, lemon salt, and pepper. Some brands add other ingredients, such as sugar, onion, and/or garlic salt, and celery seed. Look at the label... sometimes less is more. One of my favorite brands is Sauer's.
• 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
• 5. Wash and slice the taters in half, throw them into a bowl with all the other ingredients, and toss.
• 6. Place them in an ovenproof bowl.
• 7. Place into the oven, and bake until tender, about 25 - 30 minutes.
• 8. PLATE/PRESENT
• 9. Serve while nice and hot; however, for an added treat, toss them in some chicken fat before serving. Decadent, yet tasty. Enjoy.
• 10. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
