- Press cut-side of potatoes into the cheese mixture (trying not to move the potatoes once they are set down).
- Carefully brush tops of potatoes with remaining butter and season with salt if you want(but I found that the extra salt isn’t needed due to the salt in the butter and cheese).

- Variations
- Add some herbs and/or other spices to the Parmesan mixture. we like adding cumin for a smoky kick or rosemary and thyme for an earthy flavor!
- Add a teaspoon of honey to the remaining butter mixture for a sweet touch.
- Serve the potatoes with ketchup, ranch, bbq sauce, or honey mustard instead of sour cream for dipping.
- Reheating Instructions
- The potatoes really taste the best when they’re eaten fresh from the oven, but if you have leftovers you can reheat them in the oven. To reheat the potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Place Parmesan potatoes in a baking dish, cut-side down and cover baking dish tightly with foil. Roast for 10 minutes until heated through. Uncover and flip potatoes so they’re cut-side up. Lightly sprinkle with a little more Parmesan, salt and pepper. Continue to roast for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and enjoy!
Notes
- Tips and Tricks for the Best Parmesan Potatoes
- Use pre-grated Parmesan cheese that you find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Do not freshly grate the Parmesan for this recipe. The pre-grated Parmesan melts and sticks to the potatoes the best and creates the best cheese blanket, which is just what you want!
- Press the potatoes into the Parmesan mixture, don’t move them around. This will ensure a full and even coating of the Parmesan is crusted onto the potatoes.
- It’s important to use potatoes similar in size for this dish to ensure even roasting.
