Crispy Crunchy Parmesan Potatoes: The Ultimate Crowd-Pleaser Recipe You’ll Regret Not Trying - Recipes by Janet

I will never forget the first time I served Crispy Crunchy Parmesan Potatoes at a family gathering. It was a last-minute decision to whip something up while preparing for a big holiday dinner, and I was nervous! But as soon as those golden, crispy bites hit the table, heads turned and mouths watered. Watching my little cousins devour them with smiles on their faces was a heartwarming moment; it reminded me that food has the power to bring people together. Since that day, these potatoes have become a staple at all our family events, and I still get requests for the recipe every time!

Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 package (24 ounce) baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1.5 teaspoons garlic and herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Equipment

  • 9 x 13-inch baking dish or nonstick baking pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the butter in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or nonstick baking pan and put it in the oven until the butter melts, about 4 minutes.
  2. While the butter melts, score the potatoes about 1/4-inch-deep in a diamond pattern (crosshatch). Set the potatoes aside.
  3. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir the Parmesan cheese, garlic and herb seasoning, and salt into the melted butter to form a paste. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the Parmesan paste on the cut-side of each potato. Arrange the potatoes, cut-side down, in the pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven.
  4. Bake until the potatoes are tender and the Parmesan creates a golden crust on the bottom of the potatoes, about 25 minutes. Let the potatoes stand for 5 minutes before using a spatula to release them from the pan.
