Ingredients

• 2 lbs Baby potatoes
• 2 tbsp Fresh rosemary
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet with olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half to create even sizes for roasting. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, grated cheddar cheese, chopped fresh rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 4

Spread the cheese mixture over the base of the baking dish in an even layer.

Step 5

Drizzle the cut surfaces of the potatoes with olive oil, then place the potatoes cut-side down directly onto the cheese mixture.

Step 6

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bottoms of the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 7

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully lift the potatoes out of the baking dish, keeping the cheese crust intact.

Step 8

Serve the potatoes warm as a side dish or appetizer. Garnish with extra chopped rosemary if desired.
