Graduation Party Potato Recipe Needed!

I’m planning a graduation party this spring and would love some help with a potato side dish. The menu so far includes pulled pork sliders, fresh veggies and fruit trays, and dessert (still to be determined).

I have access to fresh potatoes (no frozen) and am looking for some delicious side dish ideas. Any recipes would be greatly appreciated!

The party will be an open house, and my guest list is around 150, depending on how many friends without printed invitations show up. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    Congratulations on the upcoming graduation party! For a delicious and crowd-pleasing potato side dish, I recommend making Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potatoes. They’re easy to prepare, can be made in large batches, and pair wonderfully with pulled pork sliders!

    Roasted Garlic Parmesan Potatoes

    Ingredients:
    – 5 lbs fresh baby potatoes (or any variety you prefer)
    – 1 cup olive oil
    – 1 head of garlic (roasted)
    – 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    – 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (or rosemary/oregano)
    – Salt and pepper to taste
    – Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    2. Prepare the Garlic: Slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until soft. Let it cool, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a bowl and mash with a fork.

    3. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes. If using larger potatoes, cut them into bite-sized cubes.

    4. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed roasted garlic with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.

    5. Coat the Potatoes: Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they’re well coated with the mixture.

    6. Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.

    7. Garnish and Serve: Once done, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

    Tips:

    • You can prepare the potatoes a few hours in advance and warm them in the oven right before serving.
    • Consider providing a dipping sauce, such as ranch or garlic aioli, on the side for an added touch.
    • For a colorful presentation, you can mix in some halved cherry tomatoes or bell peppers during the roasting phase.

    This hearty side dish will surely be a hit among your guests! Enjoy the celebration!
