Best Easy Sheet Pan Scored Potatoes Recipe
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
Using a sharp knife, slice a grid pattern across the top of each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through.
This scoring allows the flavors to penetrate deeply into the potato.
Season Generously: Place the scored potatoes on a lined sheet pan.
Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, ensuring it seeps into the grooves.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your choice of herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor.
Bake to Perfection: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the inside is tender. Use a fork to test for doneness.
Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs, grated Parmesan, or a dollop of sour cream.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on their own.
