🥔 Mini Baked Parmesan Potato Rounds
Mini baked Parmesan potato rounds are crispy, cheesy bites made with sliced potatoes, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. They’re simple, flavorful, and great as a snack or side dish.
🧾 Ingredients
- 3–4 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven
Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Slice the potatoes
Cut potatoes into thin rounds (about ¼ inch thick). - Season
In a bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. - Add Parmesan
Sprinkle a small mound of Parmesan on the baking sheet for each potato slice. Place a potato round on top of each mound so the cheese bakes underneath. - Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the Parmesan turns golden and crispy. - Serve
Let cool slightly, then remove from the tray and garnish with parsley.
✨ Optional Flavor Ideas
- Add chili flakes for spice
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning
- Top with sour cream or ranch dip
💡 Tips
- Slice potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best crispy crust.
- Flip them carefully if you want extra crispiness.
🔥 Quick trick: If you press the potato slightly into the melted Parmesan after baking, it forms a crispy cheese crust that tastes amazing.
