Oven-baked Parmesan cheese potatoes
Golden, crispy, and cheesy! These oven-baked Parmesan potatoes are easy to make, full of flavor, and the perfect side dish or casserole.
Main ingredients:
 | Medium-sized potatoes – any type of potatoes such as yukon gold potatoes or russet potatoes. |
 | Garlic – garlic powder or flakes |
 | Parsley – handful of fresh parsley |
 | Butter – for flavor (you can use olive oil if you prefer) |
 | Parmesan cheese |
 | Paprika – for a hint of heat |
 | Salt and pepper |
 | (Optional) Chopped cubes of smoked ham |
Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, these oven-baked Parmesan cheese potatoes are the ultimate side dish. Tossed in butter, garlic, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan, they come out of the oven with a savory, cheesy crust.
I’m using crinkle cut potatoes here, but you can just cut them with a knife or use a slicer.
Simple to prepare and bursting with flavor, these potatoes go wonderfully with everything from roasted meats to fresh salads. Or even on their own as a snack!

What to serve with it?
Baked parmesan potatoes make an excellent side dish with a piece of meat like a filet mignon or breaded chicken. You can also serve it at a main dish with a side of vegetables like steamed green beans or a starter of roasted tomatoes.
How to store it?
If you with to freeze baked parmesan potatoes, I recommend undercooking them slightly. Let them cool, and then place in an air-tight container in the freezer. When you are ready to eat them, place them back on the stove and finish cooking.
