Many recipes containing potatoes and Parmesan cheese are referred to as parmesan potatoes. Parmesan potatoes are typically served as a side dish and can be served hot or cold. Because there are so many different potato varieties that can be used to make the dish, the type of potatoes used in a Parmesan potato recipe is often a matter of personal preference. Grilled, roasted, boiled, fried, or baked potatoes are used in Parmesan potatoes.
With just a few simple ingredients and a few simple steps, you can make an easy roasted Parmesan potato dish. Raw potatoes are peeled, cubed, and put into a casserole dish first. Butter, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings desired by the cook are added. After that, the seasoned potatoes are topped with grated or shredded Parmesan cheese. The dish is baked for 30 to 45 minutes after being placed in an oven preheated to around 400°F (about 204°C).
Many mashed or smashed Parmesan potato side dishes are served. To make mashed Parmesan potatoes, scrub and peel the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until fork tender, about 30 minutes. After that, mash the potatoes until they reach the desired consistency. Finally, stir in the butter, milk, cream, and other ingredients until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. To make the mashed Parmesan potatoes smoother and more flavorful, use some of the reserved salt water from the cooking process.
Traditional French fries can be replaced with oven-fried Parmesan potatoes. To begin, clean the potatoes and cut them into wedges, peeled or unpeeled, depending on the cook’s preference. Oil, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all added to the potato wedges in a plastic bag. The potatoes are thoroughly coated with the ingredients after shaking the bag. The potatoes are placed in a single layer on a baking sheet, then baked for 30 to 35 minutes at 450°F (about 232°C) in a preheated oven.
Another simple side dish that can be made with potatoes and Parmesan cheese is potato salad. Cooking potatoes are cleaned and cut into cubes before being placed in a bowl. Other ingredients, such as chopped boiled eggs, celery, onions, and green pepper, are then added. The ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, with the addition of grated Parmesan cheese and mayonnaise.
