🥘Ingredients

Potatoes

4 large russet potatoes

Parmesan Mixture

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3Scrub the potatoes clean under cold water.
4Pat them dry with a clean towel.
5Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
6Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
7In a small bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
8Mix well until the parmesan cheese is evenly coated with the oil and spices.
9Brush the parmesan mixture evenly over the potatoes, ensuring they are fully coated.
10Use your hands to press the mixture onto the potatoes, making sure it sticks well.
11Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
12Bake the potatoes for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the parmesan crust is golden brown and crispy.
13You can test for doneness by gently squeezing the potatoes with an oven mitt; they should give slightly when pressed.
14Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
15This allows the potatoes to finish cooking slightly and makes them easier to handle.
16Serve the parmesan baked potatoes hot, with your favorite toppings or dipping sauces.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Parmesan Baked Potatoes

Q1: What type of potatoes should I use for this recipe?

A1: You can use any type of potato you like, but Russet or Idaho work best because they have a high starch content that yields a crispy outside and fluffy inside.

Q2: Can I use pre-shredded cheese instead of grating my own?

A2: While you can use pre-shredded cheese, it’s best to grate your own Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.

Q3: How do I ensure my potatoes are fully cooked?

A3: You can check for doneness by inserting a fork into the potato – if it slides in easily, it’s done. You can also check the internal temperature of the potato with an instant-read thermometer.

Q4: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

A4: Yes, you can prepare the potatoes up to a day in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Q5: What if I don’t have fresh parsley on hand?

A5: You can omit the parsley or substitute with chopped fresh chives or scallions if you prefer.
