Crunchy Baked Potatoes With Anchovy, Parmesan and Rosemary image

This is a sophisticated take on the typical cheese-laden twice-baked potato. Here, rosemary, Parmesan, anchovy and garlic replace the Cheddar cheese and sour cream, and for a crunchy topping, bread crumbs mixed with more Parmesan and lemon zest are sprinkled on top and placed under the broiler until golden and crisp.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 large servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large russet potatoes 10 to 12 ounces each, scrubbed well
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
4 anchovy fillets, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 tablespoons panko or plain dried bread crumbs
3 anchovy fillets, minced
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon packed grated lemon zest
1 large pinch red pepper flakes
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rub the potatoes with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pierce twice with a fork (don't worry if some salt falls off). Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until skin is crispy and insides are tender when pierced with a fork, 60 to 70 minutes.
  • When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, use a sharp knife to slice off tops. Scoop out insides, leaving about 1/4 inch around skin; transfer potato flesh to a bowl. Add cheese, olive oil, rosemary, anchovy, garlic and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt to bowl and mash with a fork until combined.
  • Stuff potato skins with potato mixture. In the same bowl, mix all topping ingredients, except olive oil, and divide among the potatoes; drizzle tops very generously with olive oil. Return potatoes to oven and bake until heated through, about 10 minutes. Run under broiler for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until tops are golden brown and crisp. Replace tops on potatoes if you like and serve hot.

These potatoes are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the crispy skin and flavorful topping.

I love to make these potatoes ahead of time and then reheat them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them. They're just as good the second time around!

These potatoes are also great served as a snack. Just cut them into wedges and bake them until crispy. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

I've made this recipe with both russet potatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes. I prefer the Yukon Gold potatoes because they're a bit creamier and have a more tender texture.

These potatoes are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. Just spread the mashed potatoes in a baking dish, top with the anchovy-Parmesan mixture, and bake until crispy.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The anchovies, Parmesan, and rosemary all complement each other perfectly.

These potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal. They're crispy, flavorful, and easy to make. I highly recommend them!

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the anchovies from this recipe. The potatoes were still very flavorful, and the Parmesan and rosemary topping was perfect.

I made these potatoes for a party, and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved the crispy skin and flavorful topping. I'll definitely be making these again.

These potatoes were a bit salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much Parmesan cheese. Next time, I'll use a little less cheese and see how they turn out.

I'm not a big fan of anchovies, but I loved these potatoes! The Parmesan and rosemary really balanced out the flavor of the anchovies.

I didn't have any anchovies, so I used capers instead. They worked well, and the potatoes were still very flavorful.

These potatoes were a bit too crispy for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I love this recipe because it's so easy to make, but it always turns out impressive. The potatoes are always crispy and golden brown, and the anchovy-Parmesan topping is always flavorful and cheesy.

This was my first time making crunchy baked potatoes, and they turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The anchovy-Parmesan topping was also very flavorful.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The potatoes are always crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the anchovy-Parmesan topping is perfectly savory and tangy.
