Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 ½ pounds (680 g) yellow potatoes, well-scrubbed and rinsed
Seasoning & Toppings
- ¼ cup (57 g) butter, melted
- ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and set aside a 9×13 inch baking pan for later use.
- Wash & Cut Potatoes: Thoroughly scrub and rinse the yellow potatoes to ensure they are clean. Cut each potato into quarters to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of the baking pan to coat the surface. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the butter, then add the garlic powder evenly on top.
- Arrange the Potatoes: Place the quartered potatoes on top of the butter-cheese mixture in a single, even layer. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Bake: Put the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Then, move the pan to the top rack and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the potatoes rest for about 10 minutes to allow the coating to set. Gently transfer the potatoes from the pan and serve warm as a crispy, delicious side dish.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are cut into evenly sized quarters for uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Letting the potatoes rest after baking helps the Parmesan coating set for better texture.
- You can adjust the amount of garlic powder or Parmesan to taste.
- Using yellow potatoes provides a nice balance of creaminess and crispiness when baked.
- For extra crispiness, you may broil the potatoes for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
