Spuds, taters, or potahto—no matter what you call them, we love potatoes! This versatile vegetable can be boiled, fried, or baked, and it’s always delicious. In this recipe, we elevate baked potatoes with butter, garlic, and Parmesan for a flavor-packed dish. They’re perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Plus, they’re easy to make! Baking instead of frying means less mess and makes it simpler to cook for a crowd. If you love carbs, you’ll adore this recipe!
Ingredients:
Starchy potatoes (Yukon potatoes are best for roasting)
Salted or unsalted butter (avoid margarine for better flavor)
Fresh garlic cloves, crushed
Freshly grated Parmesan (not the processed kind)
Tips:
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Use the right potato variety for the best texture. Yukon potatoes hold their shape while roasting and become silky inside.
There’s no need to peel the potatoes; the skin adds flavor. Just wash them with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt.
Feel free to experiment with seasonings like smoked paprika, powdered garlic, Cajun spice, or taco seasoning.
If the potatoes brown too quickly, cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil.
What to Serve with Baked Potatoes:
As an appetizer: Pair crispy baked potatoes with your favorite dipping sauces like herby pesto, romesco, garlic aioli, sour cream, or hummus.
As a main: Serve with dishes like roast beef or seared salmon, alongside a fresh salad for a complete dinner.
