Notes

Tips and Substitutions
  • Uniform Slicing: Cut and score the potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Dry the Potatoes: After cleaning, make sure the potatoes are dried well as they'll crisp up better during baking.
  • Grate Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese offers superior flavor and better melting. Grate it finely so that it evenly coats the potatoes.
  • Garnish Fresh: After baking, garnish the potatoes with fresh chopped parsley, chives, or green onions. This not only adds a burst of color but also freshness to balance the richness of the Parmesan.
  • Butter Substitution: Olive Oil can be used in place of butter.
  • Cheese Substitutions: If you don’t have Parmesan, you can use Pecorino Romano, Asiago, Cotija, or a sharp cheddar cheese. Each cheese will bring a slightly different flavor profile to the dish.
  • Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. Thyme or rosemary can add exciting flavors.
