Description
Parmesan Mini Baked Potato Rounds are a flavorful, crispy side dish or appetizer. Thinly sliced Yukon Gold or red potatoes are tossed in olive oil, Parmesan, and savory spices before baking to golden perfection. These bite-sized rounds deliver delicious cheesy flavor with every crunchy bite and are perfect for dipping. Fresh parsley adds a hit of color and freshness.
Ingredients
- 4–5 small to medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Wash and slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel to help them crisp up in the oven.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the potato rounds in the mixture until evenly coated.
- Place the potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve the Parmesan potato rounds warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Substitute sweet potatoes or try Pecorino Romano cheese for a twist. For a dairy-free version, use nutritional yeast in place of Parmesan. Slice potatoes evenly for consistent baking; thicker slices may require longer in the oven. Make ahead and reheat on a baking sheet at 375°F for about 10 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge; re-crisp before serving. For under-baked rounds, extend bake time slightly.
