- 1 lb. baby Dutch Yellow potatoes halved
- 1 ½ Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. dried oregano
- ½ tsp. fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 oz. grated Parmesan cheese about ½ cup coarsely grated
- sliced green onions or chopped parsley optional, for garnish
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Score the cut side of the potatoes 2 to 3 times vertically and horizontally. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt and black pepper.
In a large baking dish, stir together the melted butter and Parmesan cheese until it forms a paste. Use a spatula to spread the paste in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
Add the potatoes to the pan, cut side down, in a single later. Potatoes should touch but not overlap.
Bake potatoes for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling. Watch them closely at the end so they don’t burn.
Allow potatoes to rest in pan for at least 10 to 15 minutes. They will crisp up as they begin to cool. Break the potatoes apart and serve topped with sliced green onions or chopped parsley.
