Crispy and flavorful Parmesan Crusted Potatoes baked to golden perfection with a seasoned breadcrumb and cheese coating, making a delicious side dish that’s both easy and satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
Coating
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crisping the potatoes.
- Prepare potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if you prefer, then cut into wedges or thick slices for even cooking.
- Make coating mix: In a bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the flavorful crust mixture.
- Coat potatoes with oil: Toss the potato wedges with olive oil until each piece is evenly coated, which helps the coating stick and crisps the potatoes.
- Apply Parmesan mixture: Press each potato wedge firmly into the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, making sure each wedge is well covered for maximum flavor and crunch.
- Arrange for baking: Place the coated potato wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart so they roast evenly and don’t steam.
- Bake and flip: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through baking to ensure they become golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a buttery flavor or Russet potatoes for a fluffier inside and crisp exterior.
- Panko breadcrumbs give the best crunch; regular breadcrumbs can be used but may be less crispy.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference; add paprika or chili powder for a spicy kick.
- Flipping the potatoes halfway ensures even crisping on all sides.
- Serve with a dip like garlic aioli or ketchup for added flavor.
