Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut larger potatoes in half, keeping the smaller ones whole.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, ensuring there is a small vent for steam to escape.
Step 3
Microwave the potatoes on high for 7-10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove them from the microwave (use oven mitts as the bowl will be hot!) and toss them with the seasoned olive oil mixture until evenly coated.
Step 6
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated. The cheese will stick to the oil-coated potatoes.
Step 7
Return the potatoes to the microwave, uncovered, and cook on high for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the Parmesan to melt and lightly crisp up.
Step 8
Remove the potatoes from the microwave and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your Microwave Parmesan Potatoes as a delicious side dish or snack!
