Description

Parmesan Crusted Potatoes offer a deliciously crispy and cheesy twist on classic roasted potatoes. Halved Yukon Gold potatoes are coated with a flavorful garlic parsley salt seasoning and a rich Parmesan butter mixture, then baked to golden perfection. This easy side dish pairs well with a variety of main courses and brings a savory, crispy crust with a tender interior.


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

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes to a crispy golden finish.
  2. Season the potatoes: Evenly sprinkle the halved Yukon Gold potatoes with garlic parsley salt to add a savory herb flavor base.
  3. 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.
  4. Coat the potatoes: Spread the Parmesan mixture generously on the cut sides of each potato half to ensure a cheesy crust.
  5. 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.
