Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Pimento Cheese

1 hour 10 minutes
Serves 8 servings

Ingredients 

  • Avocado oil for tossing the potatoes
  • 2 1/2 lb baby Yukon Gold potatoes halved
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cups homemade pimento cheese chilled (see above)
  • smoked paprika for dusting
  • chopped fresh chives for serving
  • flaky sea salt for serving

Directions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Toss the potatoes with avocado oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on a large sheet pan, leaving space between them.
  • Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, until the cut sides are deeply golden and crisp. Do not flip. Check at 20 minutes to make sure they are cooking evenly.
  • Meanwhile, remove the pimento from the fridge and stir it with a spoon until it's easily spreadable.
  • Spread the pimento cheese across a serving platter. Pile the hot potatoes on top, leaving some cheese visible around the edges.
  • Finish with smoked paprika, chopped chives, and flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
