Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the peeled potatoes into chunks.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Moisten the potato chunks in water to help the coating adhere.
- Shake the water-moistened potatoes in the flour mixture until well coated.
- Place the coated potatoes in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 1 hour.
- Turn the potatoes after 30 minutes using a spatula to ensure even browning.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the coating mixture. If you're short on Parmesan, you can substitute with another hard cheese, such as Pecorino Romano. Ensure the potatoes are cut evenly for uniform cooking. If you prefer a crispier texture, increase the baking time by an additional 10 minutes, checking for doneness.
Serving Suggestions
These Golden Parmesan Cheese Potatoes pair beautifully with grilled chicken or fish for a delightful meal. Consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or some steamed vegetables for a complete dinner. They also make a fantastic side for brunch, especially when served with eggs or alongside dishes like Pumpkin-Peanut Butter Pie for a sweet finish.
Storage & Reheating
Allow leftover potatoes to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, until heated through and crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, you can substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes in this recipe. Just keep in mind that sweet potatoes may cook faster, so check for tenderness around the 40-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
What can I do if I don't have Parmesan cheese?
If Parmesan cheese isn't available, you can use Pecorino Romano or even a mix of grated Asiago and nutritional yeast for a similar flavor profile. Just adjust the salt in your recipe accordingly, as some cheeses can be saltier than others.
How do I make these potatoes crispier?
To achieve a crispier texture, ensure the potatoes are well-coated with the flour mixture and avoid overcrowding the baking dish. You can also drizzle a bit of olive oil over them before baking to enhance crispiness.
