Instructions

Begin by preheating oven to 425°F for optimal crispy potato texture.

Wash and halve baby potatoes, leaving skin on for added texture.

Boil halved potatoes in salted water for 10 minutes until slightly tender.

Drain potatoes thoroughly and let cool for 5 minutes before handling.

Toss drained potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Arrange potatoes cut-side down on large baking sheet for maximum browning.

Roast potatoes for 20 minutes until golden and starting to crisp.

Meanwhile, combine grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, and Italian seasoning.

Mix melted butter with minced garlic and fresh herbs until well combined.

Add garlic butter mixture to Parmesan breadcrumb mixture and stir thoroughly.

Season breadcrumb mixture with salt, pepper, and additional herbs to taste.

Remove partially roasted potatoes from oven and flip cut-side up.

Generously sprinkle Parmesan crust mixture over each potato half.

Press coating gently onto potatoes to help it adhere during baking.

Return coated potatoes to oven and continue roasting 15-20 minutes more.

Roast until coating is golden brown and potatoes are fork-tender inside.

Remove from oven when crust is crispy and cheese is melted.

Let potatoes rest for 3-5 minutes to set the crispy coating.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and chives while still warm.

Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired for extra richness.

Add fresh basil leaves and lemon zest for bright finishing touches.

Season with coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

Serve immediately while potatoes are hot and coating is at peak crispiness.

Accompany with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or fresh salad greens.

Store leftovers covered in refrigerator and reheat in oven to restore crispiness.
