Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional for color)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (for garnish) Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Place the cut side down on a cutting board.
Using a sharp knife, score the rounded side of each potato half with shallow crisscross cuts, being careful not to cut too deeply.
Brush the scored side of each potato generously with olive oil to ensure even crisping.
In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip the scored side of each potato half into the Parmesan mixture, pressing down gently to coat the surface thoroughly and evenly.
Arrange the potatoes scored-side-up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for proper roasting.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy, and the interior is fork-tender.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Scored Parmesan Potatoes!
