Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams New potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish or casserole with a bit of olive oil.
Wash and scrub the new potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into halves or quarters, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a garlic-herb mixture.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat each piece in the mixture.
Transfer the coated potatoes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, stirring gently halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly crispy.
Garnish the finished dish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a bright and vibrant touch.
Serve the Italian New Potato Bake hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.
