Parmesan & Macadamia Crusted Potatoes

This parmesan-crusted roast potato recipe takes your roasties to the next level. Make sure you have enough because everyone will come back for more.

Serves: 6-8

INGREDIENTS

2 kg potatoes, halved

½ cup FreshLife macadamias, roughly chopped

3 tbsp butter

1.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated

2 tbsp garlic & herb seasoning

2 tsp salt

A handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped

METHOD

Preheat oven 220°C.
Score the cut side of the potatoes with ½ cm slices in a criss-cross pattern.
Put the butter in a shallow non-stick roasting pan and place in the oven until butter is melted, about 4 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and cool for a minute or two, then sprinkle in the grated Parmesan, garlic & herb seasoning, and salt.
Place the potato halves in the pan, cut side down.
Bake until the potatoes are tender and the Parmesan creates a golden crust on the bottom of the potatoes, about 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Cool for 5 minutes*, then use a spatula to loosen the potatoes and turn them to crusted sides to face up.
Scatter with chopped macadamias and bake for a further 4–6 minutes until the nuts are lightly toasted. Sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.

*Cook’s tip: Cooling the potatoes until the parmesan on the bottom hardens makes it easier to flip them.
