Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Easy Sheet Pan Scored Potatoes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work well)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional, or any herb of your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with some cooking spray.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes. Slice each potato crosswise without cutting all the way through (this is called scoring). To score, make about 1/4-inch deep cuts in the potatoes, leaving about 1/2 inch between each cut. This will help the potatoes cook more evenly and get crispy edges.
- Season the Potatoes: Place the scored potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary (if using), salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning into the scores so it gets into all the nooks and crannies.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are crispy on the edges and a fork easily slides through the middle.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve as a side dish with your favorite main course.
Tips:
- For extra crispy potatoes, you can brush the scored potatoes with a bit more olive oil halfway through cooking.
- You can customize the seasonings by adding Parmesan cheese, paprika, or any other herbs/spices you like.
Enjoy your crispy, tender sheet pan scored potatoes!
