Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds small potatoes

Seasoning Mix

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Fats & Oils

  • 1 stick salted butter (melted)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the potatoes at the right temperature.
  2. Melt Butter and Prepare Pan: Melt 1 stick of salted butter and pour it into a 9×13-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly to coat the base.
  3. Prepare Potatoes: Cut each small potato in half and use a knife to score an ‘X’ on the cut side of each half; this increases surface area for crispiness and seasoning adherence.
  4. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the freshly grated Parmesan cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper; mix thoroughly to create the seasoning blend.
  5. Layer Seasoning and Potatoes: Sprinkle most of the seasoning mixture onto the bottom of the pan, on top of the melted butter, leaving about one heaping tablespoon reserved.
  6. Arrange Potatoes: Place the potatoes in the pan cut side down directly onto the seasoning and butter layer for maximum flavor absorption and crisping.
  7. Add Olive Oil and Remaining Seasoning: Drizzle the tops of the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of the seasoning mix evenly over the tops.
  8. Bake: Bake the potatoes uncovered in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until they are tender and the exterior is golden and crispy.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and serve warm as a delicious, crispy side dish to your meal.

Notes

  • Use small potatoes like baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes for even cooking and the best texture.
  • Scoring the potatoes with an ‘X’ helps seasoning penetrate and increases surface crispiness.
  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Feel free to substitute parsley with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different flavor profile.
  • These potatoes reheat well in the oven or air fryer, avoiding sogginess.
