Ingredients
For the Potatoes
- 1 pound Baby Potatoes
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Creamy Topping
- 1/4 cup Cheese cheddar, gruyere, or a blend of your choice, shredded
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 Onions finely chopped, green, or chives
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if desired, or leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
Toss and Season
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the potatoes in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat all sides evenly.
Bake the Potatoes
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Add the Creamy Topping
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheese and mayonnaise. Stir to combine.
Finish and Serve
- Spoon the cheese and mayonnaise mixture evenly over the baked potatoes. Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Baked Baby Potatoes
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder along with the salt and pepper.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; ensure the potatoes are in a single layer for even baking.
- If you prefer a crispier potato, broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- Experiment with different types of cheese! Sharp cheddar, creamy Gruyere, or a blend of your favorites will all work wonderfully.
