Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 red potatoes
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 medium onion
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Microwave 5 medium red potatoes in a covered dish for 6-7 minutes on high. Use oven mitts when handling, as steam can cause burns. Gently separate potatoes if they stick together.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon dill and 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Thoroughly coat potatoes with this seasoned mixture.
- Coat a baking dish with non-stick spray. Spread the seasoned potatoes and 1 medium chopped onion across the dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, turning potatoes halfway through cooking. Watch for golden brown, crispy edges as your indicator of doneness.
- Remove potatoes from oven and immediately scatter ¼ cup Parmesan cheese over the top. Gently toss to distribute cheese evenly and serve hot.
Notes
- Microwaving potatoes before roasting helps them cook faster and become more tender inside while getting crispy on the outside.
- Using mayonnaise as a coating creates a rich, golden-brown crust that adds extra flavor and helps the seasonings stick to the potatoes.
- Turning the potatoes halfway through baking ensures even browning and prevents one side from burning while the other remains pale.
- For a lighter version, swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or substitute olive oil, which can reduce calories while maintaining a crispy texture.
