Instructions
 

Preparing the Potatoes

    Preheat the Oven:

    • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready for perfectly roasted potatoes.

    Prep the Potatoes:

    • Wash and cut your baby or Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
    • Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

    Season:

    • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your choice of dried rosemary or thyme.
    • Toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated.

    Roasting and Topping

      Roast the Potatoes:

      • Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet.
      • Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they’re golden and crisp.

      Add the Parmesan Garlic Topping:

      • A few minutes before the potatoes are done, remove the baking sheet.
      • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic (or roasted garlic for a softer taste) over the potatoes.
      • Return the sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and form a delicious, savory crust.

      Preparing the Creamy Garlic Dip

        Mix the Dip:

        • In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt (or sour cream) with mayonnaise.
        • Add finely minced fresh garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice.
        • Season with salt and pepper, stirring until smooth.

        Enhance the Flavor:

        • If you like, fold in a handful of chopped fresh parsley for added color and freshness.

        Finishing Touches

          Plate and Serve:

          • Arrange the hot, crispy Parmesan potatoes on a serving platter.
          • Place the creamy garlic dip in a small bowl on the side.
          • Garnish with a light drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of extra Parmesan if desired.

          Enjoy:

          • Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting blend of crispy potatoes, melty cheese, and zesty garlic dip.
