Ingredients
1.5 lbs baby gold or Yukon gold potatoes (about 10–12 small potatoes)
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Slice the Potatoes:
Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. If desired, score the cut sides with a knife to help the crust adhere better.
Prepare the Parmesan Coating:
In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Prepare the Potatoes:
Brush the cut sides of the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter. Place the potatoes cut-side down on the Parmesan mixture on the baking sheet.
Bake:
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the crust is golden brown.
Serve:
Let the potatoes cool slightly before removing them from the tray. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
Variation: You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Storage: Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore their crispiness.
