3-Ingredient Oven Autumn Comfort

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Raw baby purple potatoes (washed and dried) 1 1/2 pounds
Olive oil 2 tablespoons
Shredded mozzarella cheese 1 1/2 cups

Step-By-Step Directions:

  1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a medium ceramic baking dish. Halve any potatoes that are larger than bite-sized so they roast evenly.

  2. Season potatoes: Place the potatoes in the baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and toss thoroughly until well coated.

  3. Roast: Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the skins are browned and caramelized.

  4. Top with cheese and melt: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the hot potatoes and return to the oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and glossy.

  5. Rest and serve: Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly while keeping the potatoes hot.
