Crispy Parmesan Potatoes are a tasty and flavorful side dish, perfect to accompany meat or fish main courses. They are easy to prepare and require few ingredients: potatoes, grated Parmesan, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. There are several variations of this recipe: the potatoes can be cut into cubes, wedges, or slices. You can also add other ingredients, such as breadcrumbs, herbs, or spices. But the really special thing about this side dish is the cheesy flavor at the base of the potato, which, I assure you, will make you savor one potato after another. Let’s say the cut and choice of potato is up to you. I have used those of medium size suitable for all types of recipes, but if you want, you can use smaller ones like baby potatoes or leave the skin on. I removed it because the potatoes I used were not suitable for cooking with the skin on. Try them because they are delicious.
