Ingredients

• 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Lemon zest
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Scrub and rinse the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the potato cubes. Cook for 8-10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until blended.

Step 5

Place the drained potatoes in a large mixing bowl and pour the lemon dressing over them. Toss gently to coat.

Step 6

Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the potatoes, tossing again to distribute evenly.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and melted butter to create a crumbly mixture.

Step 8

Grease a large, rimmed baking sheet with a thin layer of olive oil. Spread the dressed potatoes evenly across the sheet in a single layer.

Step 9

Sprinkle the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the potatoes, pressing lightly to help it adhere.

Step 10

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the Parmesan crust is crisp.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Lemon Parsley Potatoes with a Parmesan Cheese Crust!
