Parmesan potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that combines the rich flavors of parmesan cheese with the comforting texture of roasted potatoes. Perfect for any meal, this recipe utilizes simple ingredients to create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes (if preferred) and then cut them into quarters or wedges.
- Rinse the potato pieces under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
3. Mix the Coating:
- In a medium bowl, combine the whole-grain wheat flour and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to ensure they are thoroughly mixed.
4. Melt the Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Alternatively, you can melt it in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave.
5. Coat the Potatoes:
- Dip each potato piece into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Then, roll the butter-coated potato in the flour and Parmesan cheese mixture until evenly coated. Shake off any excess mixture.
6. Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Grease a large baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
7. Arrange the Potatoes:
- Place the coated potato pieces in the baking dish in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other. This allows them to cook evenly and get crispy.
8. Bake:
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the potatoes over to ensure even browning on all sides.
- The potatoes are ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
9. Serve:
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the potatoes cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer the Parmesan potatoes to a serving platter and enjoy them hot.
Tips:
- For even cooking, try to cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces.
- You can use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Feel free to add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for an extra burst of flavor.
- If you prefer a crispy texture, you can increase the oven temperature slightly and cook the potatoes for a few extra minutes.
- Make sure to stir the potatoes halfway through the roasting process to ensure they cook evenly and get golden brown on all sides.
