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: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes to a crispy golden finish.
- Season the potatoes: Evenly sprinkle the halved Yukon Gold potatoes with garlic parsley salt to add a savory herb flavor base.
- Make the Parmesan butter mixture: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the melted unsalted butter with grated Parmesan cheese until a paste-like consistency is achieved.
- Coat the potatoes: Spread the Parmesan mixture generously on the cut sides of each potato half to ensure a cheesy crust.
- Arrange and bake: Place each coated potato cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese crust is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy texture and even roasting.
- Make sure the butter is fully melted to mix well with the Parmesan cheese.
- Flipping the potatoes cut-side down helps create a crisp, cheesy crust.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; check for tenderness before serving.
- For an extra kick, sprinkle some black pepper or chili flakes on top before baking.
