When it comes to potatoes, TikTok is full of innovative recipes.
The best thing about Recipe-Tok is that you can breeze through ideas in less than an episode of your favorite show. This simple potato recipe has taken TikTok by storm, and I couldn't wait to put it to the test. Could just a handful of ingredients transfer your everyday spuds? Let's see!
RECIPE: TikTok Roasted Potatoes (serves 4-5)
Ingredients:
- 12 baby potatoes (I used Yukon Gold)
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 TBSP. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a standard round cake pan or 9-inch square casserole dish, mix the melted butter and Parmesan cheese. Spread the mixture out evenly on the bottom of the pan and set it aside.
- Wash and scrub your potatoes, then cut them in half. Score the potatoes at least 1/4-inch deep in a tic-tac-toe pattern. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil and seasonings. Place the potatoes cut side down into the pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes, then remove the pan and turn the oven to the broil setting. Flip over all of the potatoes and broil for 3 minutes to get a nice brown crust.
Variations:
- You can use any kind of baby potatoes for this recipe. I've even seen people use small red potatoes that are about 3 inches in diameter. Keep in mind that the cooking time should change if you use larger potatoes.
- 1/3 cup of Parmesan gives you a very light crust. You can always sprinkle on more before you broil the potatoes.
- Go to town with the seasonings you use. You're essentially starting off with a blank canvas.
In the end, I had to take the best parts of different TikToks to get a really great version of this recipe. Give it a try—you won't regret it!
