Ingredients

Butter Mixture

  • 1 stick (4 ounces) salted butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Potatoes

  • 1 ½–2 pounds small yellow potatoes (Yukon Gold or similar)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pour the melted butter into a baking dish and spread it evenly to coat the bottom completely.
  2. Mix seasoning blend: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir well to create a flavorful topping mixture.
  3. Prepare the potatoes: Using a paring knife, slice each potato in half lengthwise. On the cut side, score a crosshatch pattern carefully without cutting through the skin; this will allow the butter mixture to penetrate deeply during baking.
  4. Assemble for baking: Arrange the potato halves cut side down in the baking dish atop the melted butter. Drizzle olive oil over the top side of the potatoes to encourage browning.
  5. Bake the potatoes: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown, crispy on the edges, and easily pierced with a fork.
  6. Rest and serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and the baking dish. Let them sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to settle before serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the potatoes for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Use Yukon Gold or similar waxy potatoes which hold their shape well during baking.
  • Leftover potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
  • You can substitute Italian seasoned breadcrumbs with panko breadcrumbs mixed with Italian herbs if needed.
