Dinner Party Potatoes
These cheesy potatoes are perfect for any dinner party because they're easy, quick and so delicious. Cheese and potatoes are best friends, so why not layer a heaping pile of freshly grated cheese on these perfectly crisp potatoes? Sounds like heaven to me.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes
- 1 tablespoon sea salt plus more as needed
- 2 small limes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 ounces mimolette cheese or a hard aged cheddar the brighter the orange, the better
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add in the sea salt.
- Boil the fingerling potatoes for 8-10 minutes or until fork tender.
- Spread out the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a rolling pin to smash them down thinly. Make sure each potato has enough room, none should overlap.
- Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and the juice from one lime. Season with a bit of salt.
- Roast the potatoes at 450°F for 15 minutes. Flip and roast for an additional 15 minutes.
- While the potatoes are roasting, use a microplane to freshly grate the cheese into a fluffy pile. A microplane is best for this task, but a food processor will also work.
- When the potatoes are out of the oven, top them with the juice from the second lime. Taste and season as needed.
- To serve, pile the potatoes on a large plate and gently sprinkle the cheese on top. It will be a lot of cheese, but that's the point! Grate fresh black pepper on top and serve!
