Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Do not peel the potatoes.
Place one potato on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, score a crisscross pattern on the flat side of the potato, cutting about 1/4 inch deep. Repeat for the remaining potatoes.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Brush the seasoned oil mixture generously over the scored side of each potato, ensuring it seeps into the crisscross cuts.
Place the potatoes scored-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly to allow for proper roasting.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until they are golden-brown and fork-tender.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 2–3 minutes. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack, and enjoy the crispy, flavorful crisscross roasted potatoes.
