Crispy Parmesan Lattice Potatoes
Crispy Parmesan Lattice Potatoes are a fun and delicious take on roasted potatoes, arranged in a delicate lattice pattern and baked to golden perfection with a generous layer of Parmesan cheese. These are a great snack, appetizer, or side dish that combine crispy texture and savory flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work best)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or rosemary) for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8-inch thick).
- Create the Lattice Pattern:
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the potato slices in a lattice pattern: place a row of slices horizontally, then overlap with another row placed vertically. Repeat this to cover the baking sheet or create individual lattices.
- Season the Potatoes:
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the potato lattice.
- Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh herbs over the top if desired. Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving to allow them to crisp up further.
Serve and Enjoy!
