Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat broiler if manufacturer directs.
- Slice potatoes 1/4-inch thick.
- Toss potato slices with 2 tablespoons Italian dressing.
- Place potato slices on rack in broiling pan.
- Position pan under broiler at the closest position to heat.
- Broil potatoes for 15 minutes or until tender, turning once and brushing with remaining dressing.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the Italian dressing. If you don't have Italian dressing, a combination of olive oil, vinegar, and your favorite herbs can work well. Be cautious while broiling; keep an eye on the potatoes to prevent burning, and turn them halfway for even cooking. This dish pairs beautifully with Mom's Creamy Cheesecake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these tangy broiled potato slices as a side dish to grilled meats or alongside a fresh salad for a light meal. They also make a great appetizer for gatherings. Pair with Sunday Fruit Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a vegetarian option, serve with roasted vegetables or a hearty grain salad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used as a substitute! Just keep in mind that they may cook a bit faster, so check for tenderness a few minutes earlier. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes will add a delightful twist to the flavor.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this recipe vegan, simply omit the Parmesan cheese or replace it with a vegan cheese alternative. You can also enhance the flavor with nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste without dairy.
What type of potatoes are best for broiling?
Waxy potatoes like red or new potatoes work well for broiling due to their smooth texture and ability to hold their shape. Russet potatoes can also be used but may become fluffier. Just ensure they are sliced evenly for consistent cooking.
