Why You’ll Love Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
Not only are these potatoes aesthetically pleasing 😍, making them a perfect side for a gathering or holiday spread, but they are incredibly quick and easy to make. Prep time takes only 10 minutes, and your oven will take care of the rest.
How to Prepare Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
♨️ Preheat the oven to 400F. Cut the potatoes in half, then add them to a bowl with the olive oil and seasonings and mix well. 🧀 In a separate dish, add an even layer of grated Parmesan cheese to the bottom. 🥔 Arrange the potatoes nicely and tightly, flat side down, until the dish is full. ⏲️ Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Mine took exactly 35 minutes. 🍽️ Let them cool until the cheese is hard and crispy; loosen the sides with a spatula and serve! 😋 I love serving these with sour cream on the side and dipping that crispy potato crust!
Variations and Substitutions for Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
Make this recipe your own by implementing one or more of these variations and substitutions:
Feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs by adding herbs like rosemary, thyme or dried parsley to the olive oil mix. Adding a bit of cayenne or dried red pepper flakes to the oil mixture will give these potatoes a spicy kick 🌶️. The options for potatoes are limitless. Feel free to use different types of potatoes, including sweet potatoes, russet, fingerling or Yukon gold. Any potato will work as long as you chop it into bite-sized pieces and lay a flat side down. Try different cheese variations 🧀 by using cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of cheeses instead of parmesan. For a vegan version, use a combination of nutritional yeast and breadcrumbs instead of the parmesan cheese.
Best Served With
These are best served with a delicious dip like my Easy Tzatziki or Healthy Green Goddess Dip. Serve these potatoes along with any protein, like my Juicy Chicken Breast or Hot Honey Barbecue Wings.
