Ingredients:

• olive oil
• 1/2 c. finely grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tsp. oregano
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 3/4 tsp. pepper
• 2 lbs. baby red potatoes, halved

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400*.
2. Pour approximately enough olive oil into the bottom of a 9×13″ glass baking dish to coat the entire bottom, move the oil around to evenly spread around.
3. In a small bowl, combine the parmesan cheese and all the seasonings. Mix thoroughly with a fork.
4. Carefully sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly onto the top of the olive oil, be careful to sprinkle slowly because this does not get mixed.
5. Place the cut side of the potatoes down onto the cheese and gently press down so that the potatoes make full contact with the cheese mixture.
6. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the cheese becomes crispy and the potatoes are fork tender.
7. Don’t worry about the excess oil, allow to cool for about 6-8 minutes. Use a fork and gently flip the potatoes over without knocking the cheese layer off.

Yields approximately 6 servings.

Eat, Bork, and Be Merry!
