Parmesan Crusted Potatoes (4 Ingredient)
Description
To prepare Parmesan Crusted Potatoes, halved Yukon Gold potatoes are scored with a diamond pattern on the cut side to increase surface area and allow seasoning and topping to penetrate well. The scored side is seasoned with garlic parsley salt for a subtle herb and garlic flavor. A paste made from melted unsalted butter mixed with grated Parmesan cheese is spread on the cut surfaces. The potatoes are placed cut side down on a baking sheet and baked in a hot oven until tender inside and golden with a crisp, flavorful crust on the bottom.
This baking technique creates a satisfying contrast between a soft interior and a crunchy cheese crust. Yukon Gold potatoes provide a creamy texture and mild flavor that complements the sharpness of the Parmesan. The simple seasoning allows the quality of the ingredients to stand out.
These potatoes work well as a side to roasted meats or poultry, or as part of a casual meal. Their crunchy crust makes them appealing for those who enjoy a textural contrast in simple baked potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb potato halved, Yukon gold variety
- 1/2 tbsp garlic parsley salt
- 4 tbsp butter melted, unsalted
- 1 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Clean the potatoes and cut them in half. Score them into a diamond shape.
- Season the potatoes with garlic parsley salt.

- Spread the Parmesan mixture to the cut side of the potatoes. Place the Parmesan potatoes face down on a baking sheet.
