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 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 for approximately 25 minutes, the last 3-6 minutes place under the broiler if desired (for extra browning).  Sprinkle with a little salt and serve immediately. 

What to serve with the baked potato rounds?

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.

Then in the oven these Easy Parmesan Baked Potato Rounds went for about 25 minutes. Serve with your favourite dip. Buon Appetito!
