Golden Parmesean Potatoes
Golden Parmesan Potatoes are crispy, cheesy roasted potatoes with a savory flavor, perfect as a side dish for family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put dry ingredients (salt, pepper, flour, Parmesan cheese) in a plastic bag.
- Peel potatoes, rinse, and cut into large cubes.
- Melt the butter in a 9x13 inch pan.
- While potatoes are wet, put a few at a time in the bag and shake to coat.
- Put the coated potatoes in the pan with melted butter.
- Bake at 375°F for 1 hour, turning potatoes after 30 minutes.
- Cook until crispy, which may take longer.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dry ingredients. If you're short on Parmesan cheese, a mix of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano works well. Ensure potatoes are coated while still wet for the best adherence of the flour mixture. For a crunchier finish, broil them for the last few minutes of baking.
Serving Suggestions
These Golden Parmesan Potatoes make a delightful side dish to accompany grilled meats or roasted vegetables. Consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli for added flavor. They also pair beautifully with dishes like Cabbage With Mustard Sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of potatoes?
Yes, you can use any type of potato, but waxy varieties like Yukon Gold will yield a creamier texture, while starchy potatoes like Russets will give a fluffier inside. Just ensure they're cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
How do I make these potatoes vegan?
To make this recipe vegan, substitute butter with a plant-based margarine and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese for a cheesy flavor. The texture may differ, but you'll still enjoy a delicious dish.
Can I prepare these potatoes in advance?
You can peel and cut the potatoes ahead of time. Store them in a bowl of water in the refrigerator to prevent browning. Just be sure to dry them thoroughly before coating and baking to achieve the best results.
