Tips for the Best Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
- Use Baby Potatoes – They crisp up better and stay creamy inside.
- Press Parmesan Down – Make sure the cheese sticks well to the potatoes.

- Let Them Rest – Allowing them to sit for 5 minutes before flipping helps the cheese crust set.
Storage Instructions

- Reheat: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes or until crispy again.
- Freeze: Not recommended, as they may lose crispiness.
