Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

The Ultimate Crispy & Golden Side Dish

Say goodbye to boring roasted potatoes! These are buttery, garlicky, and have a legendary parmesan crust that will keep you coming back for more.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (500g) Baby potatoes (halved)
• 4 tbsp Melted butter
• ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese (finely grated is best)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• ½ tsp Onion powder
• ½ tsp Dried Oregano or Thyme
• ½ tsp Paprika (for that golden color)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into halves. You can score the flat side with a knife in a diamond pattern for extra crispiness.
2. The Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and herbs until it forms a thick paste.
3. The Secret Layer: Spread the parmesan paste evenly onto the bottom of a baking dish.
4. The Press: Take each potato half and press the flat side firmly into the cheese mixture. Arrange them close together.
5. Bake: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 25–30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cheese forms a dark golden crust.
6. Rest & Flip: This is the most important step! Let them rest for 5 minutes after taking them out. This allows the cheese to harden into a crispy crust before you flip them over.
