Parmesan Crusted Potatoes ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #potato #recipe

Quick & Crunchy Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 long, thin russet potatoes
  • 1/2 – 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 – 4 Tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Red Robin Seasoning & freshly ground black pepper
  • Freshly snipped chives or green onion, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes and sprinkle them lightly with salt, then poke each potato and set them in the microwave. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes or until they are slightly tender.
  2. Look at the potatoes and find the best way to slice them lengthwise to result in two thin halves.
  3. Take a small baking sheet and spray with cooking spray, then pour in the olive oil and spread it around on the pan as best you can. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the oil, covering an area that’s about the right size for the potatoes. Sprinkle the potatoes with Red Robin Seasoning and fresh ground pepper, and do the same for the cheese in the pan.
  4. Set the potatoes with the cut side down directly on the cheese and oil mixture, trying to tuck the cheese underneath the potatoes to leave as few “stragglers” as possible.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are completely tender when poked with a fork and the cheese is nicely browned and crusty.
  6. Using a spatula, carefully remove the potatoes from the pan (they might resist at first, but if you can get the spatula to slide under the cheesy crust a bit, then you can push the spatula under the potatoes quite nicely.
  7. Set the ‘taters on your serving plate with the cheesey side up. Sprinkle with chives or green onion and serve!

Notes

If you are up-sizing the recipe, you don’t need to multiply the amount of oil … just make sure you have enough to cover the pan (especially where your potatoes are sitting).
