by


Enjoy crispy and flavorful scored potatoes with this easy sheet pan recipe. Perfect for a quick and delicious side dish, these potatoes are seasoned to perfection and roasted to golden perfection.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of small potatoes (baby potatoes or fingerlings work well)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes, then pat them dry with a paper towel. If using larger potatoes, you can cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space between each potato.
  4. Using a sharp knife, make shallow cuts or scores across each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. This helps the potatoes cook evenly and allows the seasonings to penetrate.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Drizzle this mixture over the scored potatoes, making sure each potato is well-coated.
  6. Toss the potatoes gently to ensure even coating, spreading them out in a single layer on the sheet pan.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
  8. Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your deliciously scored sheet pan potatoes!
