Nothing goes better with meat than potatoes, right? Well, I do love me some smashed potatoes, loaded potatoes, roasted potatoes, etc., but I am always looking for ways to change things up!
Check out these other great potato recipes:
Last week, potatoes were on sale at my local grocery store, so I grabbed some, headed home, and prepared these to go with our dinner! Not only are these ready for the oven in no time, but they are packed with flavor. My daughter almost always asks for seconds!
These have a crispy outer coating, soft inside, and are packed with a Parmesan flavor.
I don’t know about you, but I love cooking the main dish, but when it comes to the side dish, I always seem to struggle. Its as though my mind goes blank. I forget what pairs with what and some of the time, I end up serving applesauce cups with dinner because I simply couldn’t think of anything better, haha!
Over the years, I have gotten a bit better, and now I make sure to always in a veggie and/or fruit item, which makes things easy!
The crispy potatoes are a favorite and each time I add these to the meal, my kids almost always end up going back for seconds!
Next time you need a side dish with your dinner, definitely try these! They even reheat perfectly making leftovers a hit all over again!

Loved the recipe. However, I had some of those small potatoes in the bag, Some gold ones and some red ones that I needed to get rid of and I found a container of Parmesan cheese in my upstairs fridge and went downstairs to my garage refridgerator and found a container of Garlic Butter that is really scrumptious on bread and used that. I’m really glad that I came across this recipe because I was going to eventually roast those little potatoes but I wouldn’t have done like this. This is a KEEPER for cooking potatoes. I even sprinkled some more cheese on top of the potatoes that I needed to use up and they were delicious. I didn’t need to use any salt because the garlic butter definitely was salty enough. So a GREAT BIG THANK YOU!!!
Kristin
Yay!! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, it’s one of my favorites for sure!
Pat
This is similar to what mom made for us on the farm growing up. She’d boil the potatoes, drain them and quarter the potatoes and brown them to a crispy golden brown deliciousness. She us d bacon grease and butter. They were delightful.
Kristin
Sounds delicious too!! Enjoy!
Olivia
I feel like when I made this a few years ago there was a dip recipe that went along with it? Am I mistaken?
Kristin
Most people serve these with Ranch, however, I tend to make Southern Comeback Sauce. Was that what you were thinking of? https://thecookinchicks.com/southern-comeback-sauce/
Michelle
I followed the recipe but added more butter, parm cheese and pepper on top of the potatoes. It was DELICIOUS 😍😍
Kristin
Yay! Love hearing that! Glad you enjoyed!

This looks yummy. I wish I could print the recipe with a picture.
Kristin
Hi! Yes, this is quite tasty! I just changed the settings to include the picture at printing! Enjoy!

It says half lengthwise but you can clearly see these are cut into rounds? Does it matter?
Kristin
I go both ways cutting these days! Either works! Originally I kept it to lengthwise, but after doing it “wrong” a few times, it worked great too!
Pat Kulas
I used the small yukon gold potatoes and halved them.
Followed the rest of the recipe. Absolutely delicious.
Can’t save it on pinterest.
Kristin
Glad you enjoyed! I have looked into the sharing/saving settings and all should work now. Let me know if you still have problems saving! Thanks!!

Recipe says to Recipe days to halve potatoes lengthwise. Yet pictures show rounds of potatoes!
Kristin
Yep, I just haven’t uploaded new pictures. I have tweaked the recipe after making it several times, so the recipe is updated, the pictures aren’t. However, both versions of slicing work great!
Sheila
The pic doesn’t represent the recipe. Thick slices vs cutting in half lengthwise. I’m guessing it’s better with thick slices, but errors like this make a person doubt a recipe.
Kristin
Sorry about that! I have tweaked the recipe over time but realized I never updated the picture. I will try to do that in the next week! Thanks!

After 45 mins It wasn’t cooked enough for me so I had to throw them back in for 15 mins. Currently waiting to see how they turn out however so far they look and taste amazing
Kristin
Depending on the size of your potatoes, sometimes it can take more time. Hopefully they turn out yummy and you enjoy them, keep me posted!
Sandra Annussek
Please specify whether the parmesan cheese is the shredded or the grated kind you sprinkle on spaghetti. Thank you.
Kristin
Oops, sorry about that! I have added that to the recipe! It calls for grated Parmesan! Enjoy!
Kathy
Look good
Kristin
Thanks! It really is!
Julie Roberts
How thick are the potato slices?
Kristin
I cut mine about 1/4′ thick, but you could go up to 1/2″ if desired!!
Jody Miller
I make something like this, I take a little flour, parmesan, salt and pepper and some garlic powder, I chunk the potatoes and put it all in a bag like shake and bake, throw a couple pads of butter in the pan bake at 350 until tender….don’t forget to toss them a bit so it gets brown all over…..
Kristin
Yum!! Your version sounds fabulous!!
Rachel
I feel like these would be better with a full coating instead of just the bottom… But I like things extra crispy 🙂 Haven’t tried this recipe yet, but has anyone tried something like dipping the slices in the butter then sprinkling the cheese and pepper over top too instead of just the bottom? Wondering how it would turn out. Would the flavor be too strong?
Kristin
I think that would be a fabulous idea and really boost the flavor!! If you try it, be sure to let me know how it turns out!!
Tonya
I smashed some garlic and spread on the bottom of pan and across top of potatoes. Was delish! Great recipe, thx!
Kristin
Oooooo, great addition! So glad you enjoyed these!!
Linda Seay
Is this shredded cheese or powder?
Kristin
It is the grated Parmesan cheese 🙂
