Perfect Ingredients for Restaurant-Style Parmesan Potato Bites
Let’s explore the key ingredients for making irresistible crispy bites from simple potatoes. For these tasty parmesan potato wedges, mini golden potatoes are perfect. Their small size ensures they cook up tender. We’ll use melted butter (regular or dairy-free) for that golden crust. And the main attraction is finely grated parmesan cheese. For a dairy-free option, vegan parmesan works great too.
Essential Base Ingredients
- 1 pound of mini golden potatoes, sliced in half
- 1/2 cup melted butter (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese for topping
Herb and Seasoning Blend
Now, let’s talk about the flavor! Our blend of herbs and spices elevates these oven-baked potato treats. We add garlic powder for a savory taste and Italian seasoning for a fragrant boost. You can also add onion powder, paprika, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor. The goal is to enhance the parmesan without overpowering it.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
With these top-notch ingredients, you’re set to make the most delicious crispy potato snacks. Remember, the quality of your ingredients is crucial in simple recipes like this. Your guests will love them!
Crispy Parmesan Herb Potato Bites: Step-by-Step Preparation
Get ready to enjoy a restaurant-worthy snack right in your own kitchen! Making these crispy parmesan herb potato bites is a breeze. Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (218°C).
First, wash and halve your mini potatoes – about 2 pounds of baby gold or Yukon Gold potatoes work perfectly for this recipe. Once they’re cut in half, set them aside.
In an 8×8 inch baking dish, mix together 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese. This will create a flavorful paste that’ll coat your potato halves.
- Toss the potato halves in the butter-cheese mixture, making sure each piece is well-coated.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.
- Pop the baking dish in the oven and let the crispy potato snacks bake for 35-45 minutes, or until they’re golden-brown and crispy on the outside, yet fluffy on the inside.
The result? Irresistible baked potato bites bursting with a delightful parmesan herb flavor. Serve these parmesan potato wedges hot and watch them disappear in no time!
