Potatoes with Parmesan
Raise your hand if you love Parmesan cheese. How about Parmigiana Reggiano? It's the sweet, nutty cheese with a bite that's known as the king of all cheese.
How about baby potatoes? Do you love them too? This recipe is a perfect pairing between the two ingredients, and I've got some great tips to help you cut the baking time in half!
While I like to eat this cheese on an antipasto platter, in a salad, on pasta and 100 other ways, today I am sharing a potato recipe.
Have you ever made Hasselback potatoes?
They are delicious. Pair the Parmesan cheese with some truffle oil to bring these potatoes to another level. I am using small potatoes to make these Mini Parmesan Truffle Hasselback Potatoes.
What are Hasselback Potatoes?
I've heard that Hasselback potatoes get their name from a Swedish restaurant where they were first served. They are potatoes that have been sliced, fanned out and baked. I like to stuff them with Parmesan and drizzle some truffle oil on them.
How to Make Mini Hasselback Potatoes
- Cut slits into potatoes about ⅛ inch apart being careful not to cut all the way through the potato. (See our tips below for a cook trick.)
- Melt butter in a microwavable bowl and toss in the potatoes to coat.
- Microwave the buttered potatoes in the same bowl for 3 to 4 minutes or until tander.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and fan them out before sprinkling with parmesan cheese. Be sure to get the cheese inbetween the slices of potato.
- Bake 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with truffle oil, additional parmesan and parsley before serving.
Simple Recipe Tips:
- These mini hasselback potatoes are fairly simple to make but you need to be careful not to cut all the way through the potato when slicing. To make this easy, place the potato between two chopsticks so when you slice them, the cut doesn't go all the way through. You want to keep the potato together but be able to stuff cheese in between the slices.
- These potatoes can take a while to bake therefore I have a tip to make things go quicker. I like to soften them up in the microwave with melted butter for about 4 minutes. As a result, the baking time gets cut in half.
- Use different color baby potatoes to make your dinner more colorful and interesting. They all work! You can use whatever mini potatoes you can find in the grocery store. I've actually made these Parmesan roasted potatoes three times this month and my family can't get enough of them.
- Don't be stingy with the cheese. Stuff as much as you can between there without it being too messy and have some extra cheese ready to sprinkle on top when they come out of the oven.
- Go ahead and get some Parmigiana Reggiano and truffle oil to make these potatoes. They are so good!

Mine never turn out that nicely. It seems my slices always stick to each other and then never cook correctly.

We love making twice baked potatoes and I know my kids would love to help me make these too! Looks really delicious and I can't wait to try it!
Alexandra
These potatoes look amazing - though I'd have to forgo the cheese. Parmesan cheese smells like a teenage boys sneakers. Left damp in a locker. For a month.

Those look so yummy! I love parmesan, too. I had no idea whole foods did an event like that. (I'm not really a foodie so honestly I didn't even know what a cheese crackers was!!) ????
kara
holy smokes these look SO good! I think you can't ever go wrong with parmesan + truffle!
Raina
This recipe looks great! I love the chopstick tip too, thanks for sharing that one!
Katherine
Oh my gosh these look delicious!! I hardly ever make potatoes at home because I don't know any fun, easy recipes, but I think I could handle these. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to get the cut like you did, but the chopsticks trick is smart! Definitely pinning this so I can try them out and surprise my husband with a different side for once! Haha
