Ingredients and Variations
Potatoes: Baby potatoes are just regular potatoes picked before they reach their regular size, and because of this, they tend to be creamier and sweeter with thinner skins. Baby reds and fingerlings are also excellent choices for this dish. Look for fresh potatoes free from soft spots or broken skins.
Cheese: Powdered parm (the kind in the green shaker bottle) blends easier with the seasonings and will melt more uniformly onto the potatoes. You can make your own by pulsing grated parmesan cheese in the food processor until it is a finer grind, or hand-grate it yourself. For even more flavor, mix in some finely crumbled blue cheese or feta in Step 2.
Variations: Cheesy potatoes can be seasoned practically any way. Go for a mild Italian seasoning or a spicy, smoky Cajun flavor. Toss in some bacon bits, thin slices of carrots or zucchini, or strips of bell peppers for more color and crunch.
