Scored potatoes are like a cross between roasted potatoes and a blooming Hasselback — each cut allows heat and seasoning to penetrate deeper, giving you maximum crispiness and flavor. Plus, because everything cooks on a single sheet pan, cleanup is a breeze.
Whether you’re pairing them with steak, grilled chicken, or serving them as a vegetarian main with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese, these potatoes always steal the spotlight.
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra depth)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary), for garnish
- Optional toppings: grated Parmesan, sour cream, green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. - Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half lengthwise. Using a sharp knife, score the cut side of each potato in a crisscross pattern — slicing just about ¼ inch deep without cutting through the skin. - Season Generously
In a small bowl, mix olive oil with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush the cut side of each potato generously with the seasoned oil, making sure it seeps into the cuts. -
