Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
Okay so hear me out. I have made a ton of potato recipes and I happen to love them all.
However.
And this is a big fat however….
THESE are the best I have ever made. They are super crunchy, salty from the parm and so delish you’re going in for seconds FO SHO.
Let’s talk about potatoes. My mom always used red. I have no idea why, but any dish she made with potatoes always contained the red variety. You know those baby potatoes that you see at the market which are bagged and ready to use? That’s what I love using for a multitude of recipes because they are super cute and bite size. I like the yukon gold variety but I used the red ones for this recipe (because my mom was watching from above and said, “ONLY RED Debi“). I think she’s right. They were next level.
These little wonders are tossed in butter and a parmesan cheese mixture, then roasted until crisp and cheesy. This is so quick to prep, bake and perfect side dish that’s ready in under an hour!
You’ll need a few simple ingredients that you most likely have hanging around in your kitchen already. Every single potato is dipped in the parmesan cheese mixture. Do you realize what that means? Each potato has a crispy, crunchy heavenly bite of cheese on it. I mean, come on with these.
I was inspired to make this recipe from none other than a “viral” tiktok trend and I was happy I did. These potatoes are fluffy on the inside, golden brown on the outside with an irresistable salty parmesan crust. A simply mouthwatering side dish, snack that will 100% steal the show.
