Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 ½ lbs baby potatoes peeled
- 1 ½ - 1 ¾ cups Parmesan cheese friendly grated
- 1 Tablespoon fresh dill and parsley minced, each (plus more to garnish)
- 1 Tablespoon dry herbs any mixture that you like
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- salt pepper
- 2 Tablespoons oil
- 4 bacon strips cut into lardons
- chives minced, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Peel the potatoes, place them into a pot, pour in just enough water to barely cover the potatoes and cook in salted water until the potatoes are just cooked through but still firm. Drain the water.
- Mix the grated Parmesan cheese with the fresh herbs, dry herbs, salt and pepper. Dredge the potatoes in the cheese mixture. You might have a hard time getting the cheese to stick, just press it firmly into the potatoes, or just sprinkle the cheese on top of the potatoes.
- Brush a large rimmed baking sheet with 2 Tablespoons of oil.
- Place the potatoes onto a rimmed baking sheet into the preheated oven. Roast for about 15 minutes.
- Add the bacon to the potatoes. Return to the oven and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and golden. You can also cook the bacon in a skillet while the potatoes are in the oven, if you wish.
- Garnish the potatoes with more fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
