Ingredients
- 1 Pound Mini Yukon Gold Potatoes halved
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Dried Parsley
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- ¼ Cup Unsalted Butter melted
- 1 ½ Cups Parmigiano Reggiano freshly grated
Instructions
- To make these potatoes, start by preheating your oven to 425 F.
- Next, wash the potatoes and cut them in half.
- Then, take your knife and "score" the potatoes by cutting diagonal lines alongside the cut-side of each potato.
- Transfer the cut potatoes to a large bowl and add in the olive oil, parsley, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are fully coated in the oil and seasonings.
- Next, grate the parmigiano reggiano into a bowl and pour the melted butter on top. Mix them together until a thick paste forms.
- Transfer the paste to a large baking dish and use a spoon or spatula to spread it out evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Then, transfer the potatoes to the baking dish and place them cut-side down, pressing them into the cheese mixture. Repeat until all of the potatoes are in the dish.
- Finally, bake the potatoes for 25-26 minutes.
- Once they're done, remove them from the oven and allow the potatoes to rest for 10 minutes, until the cheese hardens.
- Then, use a spatula to remove the potatoes from the pan, serve, and enjoy!
