CHOOSING THE RIGHT POTATO
Making these Super Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potato Bites is a breeze thanks to the star of the show: the red potatoes! Why red potatoes over other potatoes?
- They crisp up the best when it comes to baking.
- They are the easiest to slice.
- No major scrubbing or potato peeling necessary! Don’t make dinner any harder than you have to!
HOW TO MAKE THESE POTATO BITES
I am all about simplicity in my kitchen when it comes to meals. Not to say that I’m not willing to go the extra mile for a flavor-packed meal, but the simpler the better. Right?
RIGHT.
So let’s get to making these bites so that you can start crunching away!
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (see link below under ‘Tools Used’ for my favorite parchment baking sheet recommendation!).
- The key is to slice bite-sized wedges. Slice the red potato in half, then each half into thirds or fourths (depending on the size of the red potato).
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Mix well. Add the cut potatoes and toss to thoroughly coat.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes – checking every 10-15 to stir. Remove and enjoy! Serve with your favorite condiment. Mine is always ketchup or mustard!
