Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large stock pot filled halfway with water, bring to boil and liberally salt water. Add potatoes, and boil for 20 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Strain; set aside.
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet or tray with non-stick spray. Arrange potatoes on the sheet and LIGHTLY flatten the potatoes with a potato mashed or fork in one piece (not too hard or they will end up mashed).
- Mix together the butter, garlic and parsley. Pour over each potato. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place in preheated oven and bake 10-15 minutes or until browned on the top. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to oven until cheese is melted and browned.
Notes
- Use potatoes that are the same size so they cook evenly.
- Make sure that your potatoes are tender after you boil them, but not mushy.
- Make sure there's room to circulate around the potatoes on the sheet pan so they get crispy.
- Skip the parchment paper in this recipe and bake directly on the pan to make them crispy.
- A dark sheet pan will give you the best crispy factor so use a dark pan if you have it.
