- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and halve the mini Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Using a knife, score the cut side of each potato with a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut too deep.

- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, dried parsley, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring an even coating on the bottom.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the melted butter to form an even layer.
- Arrange the Potatoes:
- Place the seasoned potatoes cut-side down onto the Parmesan layer in the baking dish.
- Press down gently to ensure good contact between the potatoes and the cheese.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the Parmesan crust is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Carefully use a spatula to lift the potatoes, keeping the Parmesan crust intact.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra kick, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the potatoes before baking.
- Ensure the Parmesan is freshly grated for the best texture and flavor.
