Easy Cheese Garlic Potatoes: Tips & Tricks

Below are all my tips to help you make this dish even more tasty and easily.

  1. Choose small potatoes, small enough to simply peel and not cut
  2. If your potatoes are a little larger, just cut them in half; make sure they are even in size.
  3. Pre-boil your potatoes for 12 minutes in salted water.
  4. Remove from water immediately, and let them cool in a bowl.
  5. Do not use Smoked Asiago cheese as that might change the final flavour.
  6. Do not overboil your potatoes, or they will break when you are mixing in the cheese and garlic.
  7. Be gentle when mixing in the rest of the ingredients, so your potatoes don’t break.
  8. Follow my cooking suggestions in the recipe card below to ensure the perfect crispy but not burnt potatoes.

Cheese Garlic Potatoes Recipe

What goes with cheesy potatoes?

Potatoes and sausages is a match made in heaven independently of what’s your nationality. This is why we suggest serving your roasted cheese garlic potatoes with sausages.

As we are making an Italian Roasted Cheese Garlic Potatoes, we’ll be serving them with Italian sausages.

The variety we are using are Pork and Parmesan Sausages, but any other Italian sausages you can find will do.

To cook them simply, add them to a baking dish with some foil and bake/roast in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Feel free to play around with different combinations. The key is to combine one softer cheese with a harder one if you want melting power and flavour.

If you just want to add some cheesy flavour in your pasta, minestrone or bruschetta you can use two dry cheeses like Parmesan and Pecorino (Romano) together.
