Description

Crispy Parmesan Crusted Potatoes feature golden, tender potatoes encased in a crunchy, cheesy (plant-based) coating. Perfect as a snack or side dish, this easy recipe combines simple pantry ingredients to create a satisfying texture and savory plant-based flavors loved by all ages.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges or chunks

Parmesan (plant-based) Crust Mixture

  • 1 cup Parmesan (plant-based) cheese, finely grated
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Other Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: cayenne pepper or smoked paprika (to taste for spicy variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Cut the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut them into evenly sized wedges or chunks for consistent cooking. Smaller pieces result in a crispier crust, while larger ones stay fluffy inside.
  2. Parboil for Tenderness: Boil the potatoes in water for 5 to 7 minutes until they are slightly tender but still firm. This ensures a soft interior and prevents drying during roasting.
  3. Make the Parmesan Crust Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the Parmesan (plant-based) cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute all flavors.
  4. Coat the Potatoes: Drain and let the potatoes cool slightly. Toss the potatoes in olive oil to coat them evenly. Then dip each piece into the Parmesan crust mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres well.
  5. Roast Until Golden and Crispy: Arrange coated potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through to brown all sides evenly and achieve a crispy crust.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes. Serve warm to enjoy the crispy, cheesy (plant-based) coating paired with fluffy interiors.

Notes

  • Use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture and flavor.
  • Parboiling is essential to ensure fluffy centers without overcooking the crust.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly onto the potatoes with your hands for optimal crunch.
  • Flip the potatoes carefully during baking to achieve even browning on all sides.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan (plant-based) cheese rather than pre-grated for better texture.
