Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- 1.5kg baby potatoes
- ¼ cup Pams Olive Oil
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh rosemary sprigs, to serve
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced). Place the potatoes in a large saucepan of salted cold water. Bring to the boil then cook for 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
- Arrange the potatoes on a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Using a potato masher, lightly squash each potato to break it open. Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
- Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Sprinkle with the parmesan and cook for a further 10-15 minutes, or until the parmesan is melted and crispy.
- Serve sprinkled with the rosemary.
Tips:
- Add sophisticated flavour by drizzling with a herb vinaigrette to serve.
- If you already have grated tasty cheese in the fridge, you can use that instead of the parmesan.
