Roasted Mozzarella Potatoes

Category: Potatoes

5 - 6 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing pans
coarse salt and fresh black pepper
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed between fingertips
1 + 1/2 cups sour cream
1 heaping cup fresh shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously grease a large baking sheet or roasting pan.

2. Add the potato cubes and drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and the Italian seasoning. Use your hands to massage the oil and seasonings into the potatoes. Make a single layer of them and bake until fork tender 25 to 35 minutes.

3. Remove the potatoes from the oven to a mixing bowl. Toss with sour cream and taste, season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

4. Grease an 8x8-inch casserole pan and add the potatoes. Sprinkle the cheese over top. Bake about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
