- 1 pound small gold potatoes, cut in half
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- fresh herbs, for garnish, optional
- grated cheese, for garnish, optional
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, and Italian Seasoning.
Take each potato half and dip the cut side into the cheese mixture, gently pressing it so that the cheese adheres. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet, cheese-side facing down.
Sprinkle any remaining leftover cheese mixture over the potatoes.
Bake the potatoes for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until they are tender and the cheese is crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully remove them from the baking sheet using a spatula and transfer them to a serving plate.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and grated cheese, and serve.
- Consistent Cuts: Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform sizes for even roasting.
- Seasoning: Season the potatoes with salt and pepper before adding the Parmesan; the cheese mix alone might not be sufficient.
- Generous Application: Thoroughly cover potatoes with the Parmesan blend.
- Prep Your Pan: Parchment paper or a silicone baking mat can prevent the potatoes from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Don't Crowd the Baking Sheet: Space the potatoes in a single layer without overlapping on the baking sheet.
- Cooling: Allow potatoes to cool briefly after baking to firm up the crust.
