Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
