Roasted Garlic Butter Parmesan Potatoes with Crispy Edges (Print version)

Golden roasted potatoes with a crispy parmesan crust and garlic butter flavor. Baked in one pan for an easy side.

# Ingredients:

For the potatoes

01 - 1.5 lb (750 g) baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved lengthwise
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling

For the parmesan crust

03 - 1/2 cup (50 g) finely grated sandy parmesan (refrigerated store-bought)
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted

To serve

10 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
11 - Flaky sea salt

# Instructions:

01 - Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Melt butter in a 9x13 inch glass or metal baking dish, then tilt the pan to coat the base with a thin layer of olive oil.
02 - In a small bowl, combine the sandy parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Scatter this mixture evenly across the oiled base without pressing it down.
03 - Halve the baby potatoes and place them cut-side down on the cheese layer. Press each half firmly so the surface makes full contact with the parmesan.
04 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the parmesan crust is a deep golden brown. You can peek through the glass to check the color.
05 - Let the pan sit for 5 minutes so the crust can set. Use a thin spatula to cut between clusters, then flip the potatoes cheese-side up onto a platter.
06 - Sprinkle with chopped parsley and an extra pinch of flaky salt. Serve hot as a side or with a sour cream dip.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served hot while the crust is crisp.
02 - Use a glass pan to monitor browning through the bottom.
