Parmesan Crusted Baby Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 (24-ounce) package baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved

• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 ½ teaspoons garlic and herb seasoning

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking utensils:

• 9 x 13-inch baking dish or nonstick baking pan

• Sharp knife

• Mixing spoon or spatula

• Measuring spoons and cup

• Oven mitts

Prep Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Place the butter in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or nonstick baking pan and place it in the oven until the butter melts, about 4 minutes.

3. While the butter melts, score the cut side of each potato with a shallow diamond pattern (about ¼-inch deep). Set aside.

4. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly, about 2 minutes.

5. Stir the Parmesan cheese, garlic and herb seasoning, and salt into the melted butter to form a paste.

6. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the Parmesan paste on the cut side of each potato.

7. Arrange the potatoes cut-side down in the pan.

8. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the Parmesan forms a golden crust.

9. Let stand for 5 minutes before using a spatula to gently release the potatoes from the pan.
