Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Leap Day! It's been a typical Wyoming February. Dreary and dull.

My fabulous husband decided to liven things up with barbequed steak, which we all enjoy quite a lot.  Typically during a barbequed meal, my husband prepares the main entree and I am responsible for the side dishes. Usually I make baked potatoes, and when I'm feeling fancy, twice baked potatoes (woo! Fancy!). I decided on something different this time, and the result is below. These potatoes were a snap to prepare and were a nice change from our usual baked taters.

List of ingredients:
4 potatoes
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
Salt
Pepper

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. You will need about 15 minutes of prep time and 35-40 minutes of baking time.

Combine the parmesan cheese, paprika, and garlic powder into a bowl and set aside. You may also put a bit of salt and pepper into the mix if you like.

Next, scrub those potatoes. After your potato skins are nice and clean, cut the potatoes into wedges and place into a large mixing bowl. Place olive oil over potatoes and toss to coat potatoes in oil.

Now, take your parmesan cheese mixture and use it to coat the potatoes. Toss until covered. If you didn't put salt and pepper in with your parmesan cheese, you will want to do it at this point.

Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, turn potatoes over and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until potatoes are soft when poked with a fork, and are a scrumptious golden color.

You will have to imagine a better photo of the finished potatoes. My apologies!! Your potatoes are done! I served mine with my husband's fantastic steak, my oh so easy to make garlic bread, and green beans.

The lighting needs to be improved on these last two pictures. Again, my most sincere apologies, I am new at this and seeing what can be done better every time. This was my daughter's plate. Thankfully I snapped the picture before she slathered ketchup all over her plate to dunk her steak in. Trust me, the steak was plenty delectable without the use of any condiments.

My husband approved heartily of the new side dish. The children both gave these potatoes two thumbs up, which means I will definitely make them again.

The next time I make these potatoes, I may add a dash or two of cayenne pepper to see if they are better with a little zing.

Thanks for stopping by! If you try the potatoes, I hope you like them as much as we did!
