Here’s a simple, yet delicious recipe for Easy Sheet Pan Scored Potatoes that will give you crispy, tender potatoes with minimal effort:
Ingredients:
- 6 medium russet potatoes (or your preferred type)
- 3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs (like parsley), or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prep the potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Pat them dry. Place the potatoes on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make shallow slices about 1/4 inch apart across the top of each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. This scoring will help the seasoning soak in and create a crispy texture.
- Season the potatoes: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil (or melted butter), garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the scored potatoes, making sure to get some into the cuts.
- Roast: Place the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. For extra crispiness, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes.
- Optional garnish: Once they’re done, you can sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, or a squeeze of lemon to add an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve and enjoy!
These scored potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender inside. They make a great side dish for any meal, and the scoring adds a fun texture to them!
