Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
- 1/2 tbsp garlic parsley salt
Parmesan Mixture
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s fully heated before baking the potatoes, allowing them to crisp nicely.
- Season the potatoes: Evenly sprinkle the halved Yukon Gold potatoes with garlic parsley salt to infuse them with savory herb flavor.
- Prepare Parmesan mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter with the grated Parmesan cheese until it forms a paste-like consistency that will adhere well to the potatoes.
- Coat the potatoes: Spread the Parmesan and butter mixture generously on the cut side of each potato half to create a flavorful crust.
- Arrange and bake: Place the potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet, then bake them in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown, tender inside, and the Parmesan crust is crispy.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and ability to crisp well.
- For extra crispiness, make sure the potatoes are placed cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute the garlic parsley salt with regular salt and a pinch of dried parsley and garlic powder if preferred.
- Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before serving to let the crust set.
- These potatoes pair beautifully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a hearty side for vegetarian meals.
