Ingredients
- 1 Pound (454g) Mini Yukon Gold Potatoes, halved
- 2 Tablespoons (30ml) Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon (15ml) Dried Parsley
- 1 Tablespoon (15ml) Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon (2.5ml) Sea Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon (2.5ml) Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 Cup (60ml) Vegetable Oil, melted
- 1 1/2 Cups (180g) Cheddar Cheese, freshly grated
Instructions
- Begin the process by setting your oven to a temperature of 425°F to heat up.
- Proceed by cleaning the mini Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and slicing them into halves.
- Using a knife, create diagonal cuts on the exposed side of each potato half.
- Place the halved potatoes into a spacious bowl and incorporate olive oil, dried parsley, garlic powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until the potatoes are well-covered in the oil and spices.
- Next, shred the cheddar cheese into a separate bowl and drizzle the melted vegetable oil over it. Combine them thoroughly to form a dense mixture.
- Spread this mixture evenly across the base of a large baking dish using a spoon or spatula.
- Arrange the potatoes in the baking dish with the cut sides facing down, pressing them gently into the cheese blend. Continue this until all potatoes are in the dish.
- Bake the potatoes for a duration of 25 to 26 minutes.
- After baking, take them out of the oven and let them sit for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to solidify.
- Finally, use a spatula to lift the potatoes from the dish, serve them, and savor the taste!
Notes
- Consider enhancing the flavor by adding a sprinkle of paprika or cayenne pepper to the potato mixture before baking.
- Ensure an even distribution of the cheese mixture in the baking dish for a cheesy crust on each potato.
- For crispy potato skins, bake for an extra 5-10 minutes until golden brown, or top with fresh herbs like chives or green onions for a colorful finish.
