Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, consider using Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, which hold up well in the oven. If you're out of Parmesan, try using a similar hard cheese like Pecorino Romano or nutritional yeast for a vegan option. Make sure to cut the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking, and experiment with adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with Creamy Salad Dressing(For Potato Salad).
