Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Lemon zest
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Scrub and rinse the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potato cubes. Cook for 8-10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until blended.
Place the drained potatoes in a large mixing bowl and pour the lemon dressing over them. Toss gently to coat.
Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the potatoes, tossing again to distribute evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and melted butter to create a crumbly mixture.
Grease a large, rimmed baking sheet with a thin layer of olive oil. Spread the dressed potatoes evenly across the sheet in a single layer.
Sprinkle the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes, pressing lightly to help it adhere.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the Parmesan crust is crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Lemon Parsley Potatoes with a Parmesan Cheese Crust!
