- Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the butter in an even layer.
Step 3: Coat the Potatoes

Tips for the Best Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
- Use Baby Potatoes: They get crispier and cook evenly.
- Press the Potatoes Down: Ensures they absorb the Parmesan crust.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Give space between potatoes for better crisping.
- Let Them Rest: Helps them crisp up before removing from the pan.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes or air-fry for extra crispiness.
- Freeze: Not recommended, as they lose their crisp texture.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I use regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes?

Q2: Can I make these in the air fryer?
A: Absolutely! Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, shaking halfway.
