Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1 Pound Mini Yukon Gold Potatoes, halved

Seasoning

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Cheese Mixture

  • 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 Cups Parmigiano Reggiano, freshly grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes to a crispy finish.
  2. Wash and Chop Potatoes: Rinse the mini Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and cut each potato in half to create evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
  3. Score Potatoes: Using a sharp knife, score diagonal lines on the cut side of each halved potato. This technique helps increase surface area for crisping.
  4. Toss Potatoes in Seasoning: Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, dried parsley, garlic powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Toss everything well until every potato half is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  5. Mix Cheese and Butter: In a separate bowl, combine the freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano with the melted unsalted butter. Stir until it forms a thick, spreadable paste.
  6. Transfer Paste: Spread the cheese and butter paste evenly across the bottom of a large baking dish using a spoon or spatula, creating a flavorful base for the potatoes.
  7. Place Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned potatoes cut-side down onto the cheese mixture in the baking dish. Press each potato firmly into the cheese to help it adhere, layering them until all are placed.
  8. Bake Potatoes: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 to 26 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese crust is crispy.
  9. Rest Potatoes: Remove the dish from the oven and let the potatoes rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the cheese crust to harden and develop a perfect crispy texture.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Use a spatula to carefully lift the potatoes from the baking dish. Serve warm as a delicious side or appetizer and enjoy your crispy garlic Parmesan crusted potatoes!

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the potatoes are dry before seasoning to help them crisp better.
  • You can substitute dried parsley with fresh parsley for a more vibrant flavor but add it after baking to preserve freshness.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
  • Make sure to press the potatoes firmly into the cheese paste so the crust forms evenly.
  • These potatoes reheat well in a hot oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • Use freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano for optimal flavor and texture.
