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.
