Roasted Parmesan Potatoes

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes (cut in half lengthwise)
• 1/2 c unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 c parmesan (grated)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash potatoes and cut in half lengthwise so you have longer, flatter halves (instead of shorter taller halves). Score the bottom of each potato where you halved them with a cross hatch pattern with cuts ¼ inches apart. Cut about halfway into the potatoes, making sure not to go all the way through.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 400 °F.

3. 3

   In a bowl combine melted butter, seasonings and potatoes. Mix until thoroughly combined.

4. 4

   Let potatoes soak for about 10 minutes, the seasoning will thicken and look like this.

5. 5

   In a baking pan or sheet, sprinkle an even layer of parmesan.

6. 6

   Place all the potatoes with the cut side down in an even layer.

7. 7

   Roast for 20 minutes or until you can easily pierce a potato with a fork or knife.

8. 8

   Let stand for 10 minutes so the parmesan gets crispy. Serve.
