Crispy Parmesan Potatoes are a deliciously golden and crunchy side dish made with tender Yukon Gold potatoes baked with melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. This easy recipe delivers perfectly crisp edges and a flavorful cheesy crust, perfect for complementing any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 6–8 Yukon Gold Potatoes, halved

Dressing & Seasoning

  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Pan: Pour the melted butter evenly onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, ensuring it covers the surface to prevent sticking and add richness.
  2. Add Parmesan Cheese: Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the melted butter, creating a flavorful base that will crisp up during baking.
  3. Season with Pepper: Evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of black pepper over the Parmesan cheese to enhance the overall flavor with a mild spice.
  4. Arrange Potatoes: Place the halved Yukon Gold potatoes cut side down into the butter, cheese, and pepper mixture, spacing them slightly to allow heat circulation for even crisping.
  5. Bake: Place the baking pan in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) and bake for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese forms a crispy golden crust.
  6. Rest Before Serving: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the potatoes sit in the pan for 10 minutes to further firm up and enhance crispiness before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use a metal baking pan instead of glass.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal for their creamy texture, but russets can be used as a substitute.
  • Adjust black pepper to taste or add garlic powder for extra flavor.
  • Make sure to let the potatoes rest in the pan after baking to get the best crispy texture.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.
