Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 g Baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
- 150 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. If any potatoes are larger than bite-size, cut them in half.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12 inches by 12 inches.
Divide the seasoned potatoes evenly among the four sheets. Add a handful of halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle about 12-13 grams of grated Parmesan cheese over each portion.
Fold each foil sheet tightly to create a sealed pouch, ensuring no steam will escape during cooking.
Place the pouches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Once cooked, carefully open the pouches (watch out for steam!) and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh parsley.
