Golden brown potatoes baked with Parmesan, garlic, and oregano for a crisp, flavorful side.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Potatoes

01 - 680 grams baby potatoes, halved

→ Butter and Cheese

02 - 85 grams salted butter, melted (reserve 15 grams for brushing)
03 - 33 grams grated Parmesan cheese

→ Spices

04 - 1.5 grams dried oregano
05 - 1.5 grams garlic powder
06 - 1.5 grams onion powder
07 - 1.25 grams salt
08 - 1.25 grams black pepper

→ Accompaniments

09 - Ranch dip for serving

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 220°C. Using a small sharp knife, score each halved potato. Place the melted butter into a 23 x 33 cm baking dish and warm in the oven for 5 minutes until fully melted.
02 - Remove the dish from the oven. Add Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter, stirring until a well-combined paste forms. Spread evenly along the bottom of the baking dish.
03 - Place the halved potatoes cut side down on the paste in the baking dish. Brush the tops with the reserved melted butter. Bake in the oven for approximately 35 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
04 - Separate the potatoes with a spatula and serve warm, optionally accompanied by ranch dip or preferred sauces.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Scoring the potatoes prior to baking promotes even cooking and increased crispiness.
02 - Spice amounts can be adjusted according to personal preference.
03 - Complement with dipping sauces such as ketchup, aioli, or hot sauce for added flavor.
