Italian Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

You know how you add some cheese to tortilla chips and salsa and melt to make nachos? Well, we wondered what would happen if we did that with cheese on potatoes. Turns out it is amazing and takes roast potatoes to the next level.

You could use cheddar or even a vegan/vegetarian alternative, but we used parmesan to keep to traditionally Italian.

Italian Roast Potatoes

The combination of garlic and oregano in these potatoes just screams Italy. The parmesan makes them nice and crispy, but you could make them even crispier by adding some breadcrumbs.

Change the flavours up a bit by using a mixture of herbs. You could use oregano, rosemary and thyme to keep it Italian, but have a nice mix.

What potatoes are best for roasting?

These potatoes are perfectly crisp on the outside, but still light and fluffy in the middle. We used Jersey Royal Potatoes, as they have a nice skin that gets good and crispy.

Can you make these potatoes ahead of time?

You can make these ahead of time up until the last step. Then, when you are ready to eat them just add the parmesan and put them back in the oven to reheat. I wouldn’t recommend freezing these and reheating.
