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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for crisping the potatoes.
- Season Potatoes: Evenly season the halved Yukon Gold potatoes with garlic parsley salt to infuse them with a savory flavor.
- Prepare Parmesan Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and grated Parmesan cheese to create a thick, paste-like mixture that will form the delicious crust.
- Coat Potatoes: Spread the Parmesan and butter mixture generously on the cut sides of the potatoes, coating them thoroughly to ensure a crispy and flavorful crust once baked.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the potatoes face down on a baking sheet so the Parmesan mixture is in direct contact with the pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and tender inside, providing a perfect balance of texture and taste.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best creamy texture that holds up well in baking.
- Make sure the potatoes are halved evenly for uniform cooking.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Garlic parsley salt can be substituted with regular garlic powder and chopped fresh parsley if preferred.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
