When it comes to roast baby potatoes, we love this deluxe version with smoked paprika, chilli and parmesan cheese. For even more flavour, you can add some rosemary leaves to the potatoes while you bake them. Whip these potatoes up as a side for a weekday dinner, or include them as part of an entertaining menu – they’re a real crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
Combine baby potatoes, garlic and olive oil in a small roasting pan. Season with salt flakes and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Roast potatoes for 30 minutes.
Add chillies to pan; roast for a further 5 minutes or until golden and tender. Top with parmesan before serving.
Can I freeze the roasted potatoes?
No, you should not freeze the roasted baby potatoes.
Are these roast baby potatoes vegetarian?
To make this dish meat-free, choose a vegetarian parmesan-style cheese which is made with non-animal rennet. Check the ingredient list.
Choosing the right olive oil for your roast baby potatoes
There are many varieties of olive oil available in supermarkets these days. The Test Kitchen recommends choosing an Australian olive oil brand. Also, it’s good to remember that with oils the term ‘light’ does not refer to kilojoules – it’s about the intensity of flavour. Make sure to store your oils in a cool, dry place as light and heat causes them to lose colour and flavour.
Health bonus! Extra virgin olive oil is a great way to include healthy fats in your diet.
