I love potatoes, however, sometimes mashed and baked potatoes get old worn out as sides, so these Baked Italian Parmesan Potato Bites are the perfect solution. They’re quick, soooo flavorful, and everyone in the house is bound to love them. I took a risk leaving the skins on, as my fiance despises them with a passion. However, the baking process of these potato bites really softens them up and he loved them. (great thing for me)
First, start my cutting up your potatoes into one-inch pieces. It’s important that all the pieces are roughly the same size. We use a potato cuber to ensure the perfect sizes.
Then throw them into a bowl of cold water for about 30 mins. Why you ask? Potatoes have a TON of starch in them. By placing them in water, it allows the starch to begin to break down and also softens them up just a little bit quicker to help with the cooking process.
Drain water out of bowl, drizzle Zesty Italian Dressing over top, a dash each salt and pepper, ensuring that all of the potatoes are covered. Your potato bites are ready to go! Transfer to a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. And place in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After the first 20 minutes, flip all the potatoes and put back in for another 20 minutes. Once that is done. Remove. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over all the potatoes, making sure there is cheese on all of the potatoes. Return to the oven on broil for 5 minutes or until a nice crispy, golden crust has formed.
Serve along with your favorite meal for a great twist on traditional potatoes. We love them with our Crunchy Spiced Pork Chops! Enjoy!
