A buttery center with a crispy skin is how I would describe these potatoes. They are almost like a French fry but don’t require a deep fryer, or any special tools. Just place them on a cookie sheet and bake.
These are quick and easy, but make the perfect side dish, or an easy appetizer. I served them with a chimichurri sauce for dipping. I would recommend you make extras because these will go fast.
This will serve 2-4 people as a side dish.

Ingredients
4 - 6 Yukon Gold Potatoes
2T Butter
1/4t Garlic Powder
1/4t Black Pepper
1/4t Kosher Salt
1/4t Dried Parsley
Fresh Parmesan (For topping, Optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400. Wash and slice potatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Evenly spread out on a metal baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Top each potato with a small amount of butter, then season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic. (You do not want to use all of the seasoning mixture on the first side, save about 1/2 of it for the second side.)
- Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes start to lightly brown.
- After potatoes have browned on 1 side, flip them. and lightly season second side with parsley and a light dusting of salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 min. The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and slightly crunchy.
- Remove from baking tray and top with lightly grated parmesan.
I am attaching a picture of how the potatoes look before cooking so you have an idea of how to spread apart the 2T of butter.
