- Potatoes
- Parmesan cheese – we prefer Parmesan Reggiano but any grated parmesan cheese will work
- Butter – we like the real stuff but you can use a substitute here.
- Flour – all-purpose
- Salt and Pepper
- Parsley – optional garnish
What is the best potato to use for roasting?
The potatoes that roast up fluffy with a golden crust are the varieties with the higher starch content.
Russets make a good roasting potato. Yukon Gold is another good choice.
Red Potatoes will roast to a darker color but have a difficult time getting crispy because of their lower starch content.

- Combine the flour, cheese, salt, and pepper in a bag.
- Cut the potatoes into 2-inch pieces, rinse them under cold water, and dot them dry with a paper towel. We don’t peel the potatoes but you can if you prefer.
- Add the potatoes to the flour mixture in the bag and shake to coat.
- Put the potatoes in a baking dish and pour melted butter over the potatoes.
- Bake, turning the potatoes half way through baking.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Tips and Variations
- We always scrub the potato skins before peeling or cutting them. Any dirt or bacteria on the outside is transferred inside if you skip this step.
- Cut the potatoes into 2-inch pieces. This gives you a lot of surface area to crisp up. It also allows the interior to cook up tender without being mushy or too soft.
- Rinsing the potatoes removes some of the starch which will assure your parmesan potatoes roast up crispy.
- Use a baking dish that is large enough to allow the potatoes to touch the pan and not pile on top of each other.
Our favorite tools
You don’t need a lot of equipment to make these parmesan potatoes. Here is what we used.
- We love our favorite 8″ Chefs knife and use a wooden cutting board that is gentler on your knife blade.
- A fish spatula is a great gadget to get under your potatoes without losing all of that crispy crunchy parmesan coating.
- We baked our potatoes in a 9×13″ baking dish and then put them in a separate dish for serving.
