If you’re looking for a simple side dish that feels a little more special than ordinary roasted potatoes, these Sheet Pan Scored Potatoes are an excellent choice. They require only a handful of everyday ingredients, yet the result is incredibly satisfying: golden, crisp edges on the outside with a soft, fluffy center.
The technique is wonderfully simple. The potatoes are sliced repeatedly across the top without cutting all the way through, allowing the surface to open slightly as they roast. This gives the potatoes plenty of little spaces for olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper to settle into.
The original recipe uses russet potatoes, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and optional fresh parsley.
