Garlic and Parmesan Potatoes

These are so simple to make on a busy night.. you just throw everything on an oven tray and let your oven do most of the work for you.. but what's even better, is that it's a bloody crowd pleaser! The ability to please even the fussiest of eaters is an art...

Serves4-6Prep15 minutesCook35 minutesTotal50 minutes

ingredients

15 white baby potatoes, washed (skin on!)
2 garlic cloves, diced
2-3 tbsp. parmesan cheese or mozzarella
1 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, generous pinch
2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
1/4 lemon, juiced

method

In a deep pot of water, boil potatoes with skin on for 15 minutes or until beginning to soften.
Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
Line a baking tray and once potatoes have softened, place them on the tray.
Grab a fork and mash the potatoes lightly, pressing down firmly in the middle to break through. (Only press once per potato, we want chunky pieces, not mash!)
Sprinkle garlic, olive oil, salt, parsley, pepper and parmesan over the top and massage into the potatoes to ensure coated all over.
Place into the oven for 20 minutes until lightly golden.
Squeeze with lemon juice and serve!
