Tips

This dish offers ample room for customization. You can experiment with various herbs and spices to match your preferences or complement the flavors of your main dish.
Russet and Yukon Gold potatoes are great choices for Parmesan Crusted Potatoes. They have a creamy texture that pairs well with the crispy Parmesan crust.
Don't skimp on the grated Parmesan cheese. A generous amount ensures a flavorful and crispy crust. You can even sprinkle some extra cheese on top before baking.
Season the potatoes with your choice of herbs and spices. Garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper are classic choices, but you can get creative with your preferred seasonings.
Toss the potatoes with the olive oil and seasonings in a large bowl to ensure even coating. This helps distribute the flavors uniformly.
Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature (around 400°F or 200°C) before placing the potatoes inside. A hot oven helps in achieving that crispy crust.
Keep a close eye on the potatoes, especially during the last few minutes of baking, to prevent over-browning or burning.
For a burst of color and freshness, garnish the Parmesan Crusted Potatoes with freshly chopped parsley or your favorite fresh herbs before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

How can I prevent the Parmesan crust from burning?

To prevent the Parmesan crust from burning, be sure to watch the potatoes closely during the last few minutes of baking. If you notice that the crust is browning too quickly, you can tent the baking dish with aluminum foil or lower the oven temperature slightly.

How do I reheat leftover Parmesan Crusted Potatoes?

To reheat leftover Parmesan Crusted Potatoes, place them in a preheated oven at a lower temperature (around 350°F or 175°C) until they are warmed through. This will help maintain their crispiness.

Can I use other cheeses besides Parmesan?

While Parmesan cheese is a classic choice for this dish due to its sharp flavor and ability to create a crispy crust, you can experiment with other hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Asiago for variations in flavor.

What dipping sauces pair well with Parmesan Crusted Potatoes?

Parmesan Crusted Potatoes are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with various dipping sauces. Marinara sauce, aioli, garlic mayo, or even a simple yogurt-based dip with herbs and lemon juice make great accompaniments. And ofcourse we think our sauce is also a great addition.

How can I make this dish vegan?

To make Parmesan Crusted Potatoes vegan, you can use dairy-free Parmesan-style cheese and replace the olive oil with a plant-based alternative like vegetable oil or melted vegan butter.
