Parmesan Encrusted Potatoes

Roasted yellow potatoes encrusted with parmesan cheese and garnished with fresh parsley and thyme. This recipe requires yellow potatoes, which are great for lighter dishes, since their golden color means less oil or butter is needed for browning. Their naturally smooth and buttery texture lends itself to baking, roasting, mashing and pan frying. 

What you'll need to make this recipe:

  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large pot
  • Fork
  • Colander or big strainer
  • Potholder
  • Baking tray
  • Spatula
