Ingredients
For The Potatoes
- 1 1/2 lbs baby/little potatoes
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2-3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese NOT shredded
- pinch garlic powder
- pinch onion powder
For The Smoked Paprika Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp country Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes, then pat them dry. Cut in half, lengthwise.
- Pour the melted butter into a 9x13" baking dish, and spread it out in an even layer.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly out overtop of the butter, then sprinkle the garlic & onion powder out overtop.
- Lay the potatoes, cut side down, in the baking dish. Nestle them in if need be, but make sure each sliced bottom is touching melted butter and cheese.
- Bake them at 400° for 30-35 minutes.
- Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven, and then set them aside to cool slightly.
- After a couple minutes, use a spatula to remove the crispy potatoes from the pan- they may come away individually or in pairs. Transfer them to a paper towel lined serving dish.
Making The Smoked Paprika Aioli
- Add all of the dip ingredients to a small mixing bowl.
- Whisk them together until evenly combined.
- Serve this cool dip alongside the crispy potatoes, and enjoy!
Notes
- Smaller creamer style potatoes make these crispy 'bites' perfect for a side dish or an appetizer.
- You can use larger potatoes, but will need to increase the cook time by 15-20 minutes, at least.
- Don't want to make a special dip? Ranch dressing or plain sour cream both make delicious dipping options.
- You may need to nestle the potatoes together in the baking dish. If you do, that's ok. Just be sure the cut side is laying flat against the dish.
- When you are removing the potatoes from the dish, they may come away individually or in pairs.
