Cheese Potatoes
Potatoes are already one of my favorite vegetables. Pair them with melty, stringy, gooey cheese and they become absolutely fabulous. And, depending on the sharpness of your cheese, you can tailor the flavor to your preference.
I like to use a milder variety of cheddar when making these roasted cheesy potatoes, and to sprinkle them with fresh herbs. But, you can also finish them with your favorite hot sauce or even crumbled bacon.
Roasted Cheesy Potatoes
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this recipe:
- red or Yukon potatoes
- olive oil
- garlic powder, dried parsley, salt and pepper
- shredded cheddar cheese
- shredded pepper jack or Monterey jack cheese
- fresh parsley
Start by preheating the oven to 425°F. Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with oil. Then, toss to coat and sprinkle with garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss again to coat well.
Spread the potatoes across a large baking sheet and roast for about 35 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove the pan when the potatoes have lightly browned edges and are beginning to crisp.
Sprinkle them generously with shredded cheese and return to the oven for about 3 minutes, just until the cheese has melted. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
You can substitute fresh rosemary or parsley for the dried parsley in this recipe. However, you’ll need three times as much to get the same effect when using fresh herbs, about 1½ tablespoons for this recipe.
