Description
Crispy Parmesan Crusted Baby Potatoes are a delightful combination of crunchy texture and savory flavor. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch from the golden-brown crust, while the tender, fluffy interior bursts with buttery potato goodness, enhanced by the rich, nutty taste of Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- Baby Potatoes: 1.5 pounds, washed and halved
- Parmesan Cheese: 1 cup, finely grated
- Breadcrumbs: 1 cup, preferably panko for extra crunch
- Olive Oil: 1/4 cup
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Roll each potato half in the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the coated potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cut side up, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through for even cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the potatoes up to the coating step and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to regain crispiness.
- Substitutions: For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs. You can also substitute nutritional yeast for Parmesan for a vegan option.
