Fried potatoes and cheese sauce!
This is a more grown-up version of a comfort food favorite.
The scallions and garlic parmesan sauce make these sophisticated and pleasing on many levels.
Creamy sauce, crunchy potaoes, and the fresh burst of flavor from the scallions.
Start by chopping small red skin potatoes in quarters.
Wrap in aluminum foil loosely.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for an hour or until soft.
Remove from oven and fry potatoes in a hot skillet with about 1/4 inch of oil and a large chunk of butter for flavor.
I added crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat!
Fry until crispy.
These came out a little lite. I would’ve like to cook them some more but my crowd was hungry!
While the potatoes are baking I made the cheese sauce.
I combined 1/2 cup shredded parmesan to about 1 1/2 cups half and half and about 5 cloves of crushed garlic.
Allow everything to come to a boil and remove from heat and pour over the potatoes and garnish with fresh scallions!
This is a new family favorite and a great side dish for any meal.
