Title: Best Easy Sheet Pan Scored Potatoes Recipe – Crispy, Fluffy, and Full of Flavor

par

  1. Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

  2. Prepare the potatoes:
    Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then score each half with several shallow cuts (about 1/4-inch deep) using a sharp knife. Be careful not to cut all the way through the potato.

  3. Season the potatoes:
    Place the scored potatoes on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle them with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle the potatoes with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently rub the seasonings into the cuts to ensure the flavors penetrate.

  4. Bake the potatoes:
    Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can use a fork to check if the inside is soft and tender.

  5. Serve:
    Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Serving and Storage Tips:

  • Serve fresh: These potatoes are best enjoyed immediately while the edges are crispy and the interior is fluffy.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in the oven for 5-10 minutes to restore their crispness.

Variants:

  1. Cheese Version: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy, melty topping.
  2. Herb Version: Add fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano for an earthy, aromatic flavor.
  3. Spicy Version: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.

FAQ:

1. Can I use other types of potatoes?
Yes! While russet potatoes are perfect for crispiness, you can also use Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or fingerling potatoes. Just adjust the cooking time based on the size of the potato.

2. Can I prepare these ahead of time?
You can prep the potatoes ahead of time by scoring them and seasoning them. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. When ready, simply bake them as directed.

3. Can I make these potatoes in an air fryer?
Yes! If you have an air fryer, you can cook these scored potatoes at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
