BEST EASY SHEET PAN SCORED POTATOES RECIPE

 

Ingredients:

4 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes

4 tbsp butter (melted)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for color & flavor)

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the potatoes: Scrub clean and cut in half lengthwise. Use a knife to score the flesh in a crisscross pattern (don’t cut all the way through).

3. Season: In a small bowl, mix butter, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Coat potatoes: Brush the scored side generously with the butter mixture.

5. Bake: Place potatoes cut-side down on the sheet pan. Roast for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

6. Flip & finish: Flip them over, sprinkle Parmesan (if using), and bake for another 5 minutes.

7. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Tips:

Use starchy potatoes like Russets for a fluffier texture.

Soak potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes before baking for extra crispiness.

For a cheesy twist, sprinkle cheddar in the last 5 minutes.
