Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 68 Yukon Gold Potatoes, halved

Seasoning & Toppings

  • ¼ cup salted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking pan: Pour the melted butter evenly onto the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan to create a rich base for the potatoes to crisp up against.
  2. Add cheese and seasoning: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the melted butter, then evenly distribute the black pepper over the cheese for a touch of spice.
  3. Arrange the potatoes: Place the halved Yukon Gold potatoes cut side down directly onto the butter, cheese, and pepper layer in the baking pan. This ensures a crispy, flavorful crust on the cut side.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for approximately 45 minutes, allowing the potatoes to become tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  5. Rest before serving: Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them sit in the pan for 10 minutes. This resting period helps the crispy crust set, making it easier to remove and more enjoyable to eat.

Notes

  • Using Yukon Gold potatoes provides a creamy texture that crisps well when baked.
  • Allowing the potatoes to rest after baking enhances crispiness and flavor.
  • Feel free to add herbs like rosemary or thyme for additional aroma.
  • For extra crispness, you can broil the potatoes for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
