Dinner Party Potatoes

5 from 1 review
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.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fingerling potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt, plus more as needed
  • 2 small limes
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 ounces mimolette cheese or hard aged cheddar
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add in 1 tablespoon of sea salt. Boil 1 pound of fingerling potatoes for 8-10 minutes, or until fork tender.
  3. 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.
  4. Drizzle the potatoes 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice from one lime. Season with a bit of salt.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes then flip and roast for an additional 15 minutes.
  6. While the potatoes are roasting, use a microplane to freshly grate 6 ounces of cheese into a fluffy pile. A microplane is best for this task, but a food processor will also work.
  7. Once the potatoes are out of the oven, top them with the juice from the second lime. Taste and season as needed.
  8. 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!
