Description
Imagine a side dish that combines the irresistible crunch of golden Parmesan crust with the rich, garlic-infused butter – that’s exactly what Parmesan Crusted Potatoes with Garlic Butter offers.
Ingredients
- Baby potatoes
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Garlic
- Unsalted butter
- Olive oil
- Fresh parsley
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half.
3. In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and mix it with minced garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
4. On the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle a generous layer of freshly grated Parmesan cheese in small mounds.
5. Dip the cut side of each potato half into the garlic butter mixture, then press it down firmly onto the Parmesan mounds.
6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the Parmesan crust is golden and crispy.
7. Let the Parmesan Crusted Potatoes cool for a few minutes, then gently remove them from the baking sheet. Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired.
