Parmesan Crusted Potatoes
Description
In Parmesan Crusted Potatoes, whole small russet or yellow potatoes are scrubbed and cut in half to expose flats that will crisp against a butter-coated baking dish. Butter is melted and spread evenly over the pan to coat the potatoes, then a generous layer of grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top along with garlic powder and any other preferred seasonings. The potato halves are placed cut-side down on the butter and cheese mixture before baking at 400°F.
The baking time of 40 to 45 minutes allows the potatoes to become tender inside while developing a golden, flavorful crust on the bottom where the Parmesan cheese crisps up. It’s important to let the potatoes cool for a full five minutes before removing them from the pan to allow the cheese crust to set and prevent sticking.
These potatoes are best served warm with a side of sour cream or ranch for dipping. Their rich, buttery flavor and crispy cheese coating complement a variety of meals from roasted meats to casual dinners.
