The Best Potatoes for Baking
To have the best baked potatoes you are going to want a medium or high starch potato, which includes the Russet, Yukon Gold Potatoes and Red Potatoes.
How to make Baked Parmesan Potatoes
Peel and slice the potatoes into thick slices, place the slices in a large bowl of cold water, let sit for 20 minutes. Then drain well and towel dry.
On a small plate whisk together the flour, parmesan cheese, parsley and salt, if you wish you can add a dash or two of black pepper.
Brush one side of the potato slices with olive oil and then coat in parmesan cheese mixture place on the prepared baking sheet coating side down.
Brush top side of slices with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining parmesan mixture. Spray or drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
Bake in the pre-heated oven until golden brown, if needed broil for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with a little salt and serve the parmesan crusted potatoes immediately.
Variations for parmesan-roasted potatoes
You could a little garlic powder or paprika instead of black pepper, or fresh herbs such as oregano, thyme or even some finely chopped fresh rosemary.
What to serve with the baked potato rounds?
I like to serve these potatoes with a simple mayo dip or as is as a side dish with Italian baked pork chops, Italian pan fried Chicken or even with your favorite cut of steak, they taste delicious with almost anything!
Can I make them in an air fryer?
Yes you can use an air fryer to make these, they take approximately 15-20 minutes to bake and at a temperature of 400F (200C).
Tips for making the best Parmesan Potato Rounds
- Baked Potato Rounds are best when served warm, right after cooking.
- Be sure to use the proper potato for baking
- It’s a good idea to slice the potatoes all around the same size so that they cook evenly at the same time.
What sauces are good for dipping baked potato rounds?
Mayo with chopped parsley, ketchup, sour cream with chopped fresh chives, or ranch dip would all go well with easy baked parmesan potato rounds.
How long should baked potato rounds be in the oven?
They should be in the oven at 375°F for around 25 minutes or until golden brown. Broiling for the last few minutes really helps give them that golden brown color and crispness.
Why do you soak potato slices in water?
Soaking potatoes in water helps to remove excess starch. The starch in potatoes can create a sticky layer, and won’t allow them to cook properly if not removed first. It also helps them from turning brown.
Why won’t my potatoes get crispy in the oven?
The oven must be hot enough for the potatoes to get crispy in the oven. Be sure to preheat the oven before adding your baking sheet of potatoes. If your potatoes are sliced extremely thick, they may need to bake longer. (If they are sliced thin, they may need to be baked for less time).
How to store leftover parmesan potatoes?
These are best served and eaten as soon as they are baked, although if you do have leftovers, place them in an airtight container and microwave or warm in a pre-heated oven before serving. They will last 2-3 days in the fridge.
These Easy Baked Parmesan Potatoes are perfect serveed with your favourite dip or sauce. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Buon Appetito!

Cooking on parchment makes clean up easy but the potatoes do not get crispy. They just get soggy. Had to turn the broiler on them to make them less soggy, but they look nothing like the golden crispy potatoes in the recipe picture
Hi L, I always use parchment paper and they brown as shown in the photos, maybe your oven temperature is off. Take care.
I would like to know why these recipes don’t print. How can I make it or try it if I can’t print it? I keep getting an empty page. I never did before but since you changed your website it doesn’t print.
I really like your recipes and I have been a fan on your website for a long time but recently you and one other site have made it difficult to follow.
Hi Betty, I just tested a couple of recipes and they printed for me. Are you sure you clicked on the printer you use? Because it gave me a few options (such as pdf and save). Let me know. Take care.
I have made so many of your recipes and they never cease to be less than perfectly delicious. These potatoes are another of those wonderful recipes. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Hi Joyce, thanks so much and you’re welcome, so glad you enjoyed them. Take care and have a great weekend!
Finally a solution to packaged potato chips, fresh tasty and healthier. Perfect with as a side dish or a quiet evening red. Cheers
Hi Gae, thanks so much, take care!
Have you ever tried using sweet potatoes? We prefer sweet potatoes. I’d like to see some side dishes that use sweet potatoes.
Hi DeAnn, to tell the truth it’s only been very recent that I see sweet potatoes in the store and not all stores have them. But I will give it some thought next time I see them. 🙂
These were so delicious, and pretty easy to make too! Will definitely be making them a lot, thanks for sharing this!
Thanks Monica, so glad you enjoyed them. Take care.
Roseann, I’ve found several great recipes from your website. You should consider adding the source (i.e., www.anitalianin my kitchen.com) at the bottom of each Recipe so that when we click to print the recipe (I save mine to my computer in PDF format) I can easily see that I received some of my favorite recipes from your website or I can access it if I also want to later see suggestions that others make. It also is great when I share the recipe with a friend…they then can then easily find you on the web…attracting even more to your site.
Hi Kathy, thanks so much and also thanks for the suggestion, I have started to add a link. Have a great week. 🙂
I love these potatoes they are so good, my kids love them too. Thanks for the Recipe.
Thanks Janet so glad you enjoy them.
