Roasted Potatoes and Peas
Golden roasted potatoes are seasoned just right and tossed with sweet peas and salty parmesan cheese. A perfect side dish for just about anything!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 pounds medium red potatoes, unpeeled, rinsed well and patted dry
- 1 cup thawed petite sweet peas, patted dry
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped fine
Instructions
Heat oven to 450°F
- Prepare a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Scatter potatoes on sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle on garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss to coat, leaving a little room in between potatoes so they crisp up.
- Roast potatoes for 10 minutes, flip and roast another 10-15 minutes. You want crispy outsides and soft fluffy insides.
- Turn oven to broil setting high and move oven rack about 3 inches from the top. Scatter the thawed peas over the top of the potatoes. The peas will fall in between them, that's ok. Sprinkle on the parmesan cheese and broil for just a minute or two until the cheese is golden in spots. If you broil too long the peas will shrivel and loose their tender bite.
- Toss the potatoes and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Add more salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Rinsing potatoes- This is a super important step you don't want to skip. Rinsing some of the starch off the potatoes will ensure a crispier outside and a fluffy inside. If you want to go a step further, soaking them in cold water for 10 minutes is even better.
Simple roasted potatoes- Follow the steps above and omit the peas and parmesan cheese. A great side dish everyone will love.
