Ingredients
Cooking spray
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 small potatoes, halved lengthwise
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly over the bottom.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, basil, salt, and black pepper evenly over the butter.
Place the potato halves cut-side down into the seasoned Parmesan mixture.
Bake until the potatoes are tender and the Parmesan coating is golden and crisp, about 40 to 45 minutes.
Allow the potatoes to rest briefly, then carefully lift them from the baking dish and serve warm.
Notes
Choose similarly sized potatoes so they cook evenly.
For the crispiest Parmesan crust, avoid moving the potatoes while they bake.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
