Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 medium red potatoes, halved lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour the melted butter into a 13×9-inch baking dish, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.
- Arrange Potatoes: Place the potato halves cut side down over the butter and cheese mixture. Press them gently to ensure they make full contact with the cheese layer.
- Season: Lightly sprinkle the tops of the potatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork and the cheese has formed a golden-brown crust.
- Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes. Carefully use a spatula to lift the potatoes, keeping the Parmesan crust intact. Arrange them on a serving platter, crust side up. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan mixture.
- Ensure the potatoes are of uniform size to promote even cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to retain crispiness.
