Description
Crispy-edged, golden Parmesan crusted potatoes with tender centers and a rich buttery herb flavor. The ultimate potato side dish upgrade.
Ingredients
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and generously butter a large baking sheet.
2. Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
3. Melt the butter and pour it evenly onto the baking sheet, coating the entire surface.
4. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese in an even layer directly onto the buttered pan.
5. Place each potato slice cut-side down onto the cheese, pressing slightly so it sticks.
6. Sprinkle garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, kosher salt, and black pepper over the tops of the potatoes.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the potatoes are golden on the bottom and fork-tender in the center.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes, then use a thin metal spatula to carefully lift and serve, crust-side up.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melting and crisping—avoid pre-shredded varieties.
Leave space between potato slices to allow crisp edges and prevent steaming.
If preparing ahead, arrange potatoes on the sheet up to 4 hours in advance, then bake just before serving.
