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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish or casserole with a bit of olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the new potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into halves or quarters, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a garlic-herb mixture.

Step 4

Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat each piece in the mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the coated potatoes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.

Step 6

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, stirring gently halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Garnish the finished dish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a bright and vibrant touch.

Step 9

Serve the Italian New Potato Bake hot as a side dish to your favorite main course.
