So as with most of my easy family dinner ideas I share there is a back story to this particular one. I don’t always share them but this one is special – at least to me.

Back when I was right out of high school my boyfriend (turned first husband) & I traveled to Oregon so I could meet his extended family. One of his family’s favorite places to eat is this pizza place called Abby’s.

If you are from Oregon then you know what I’m talking about. We went there & along with the pizza they brought out these roasted, crispy potato rounds. I don’t know if I had just never had anything like that before or if it was the way they made them.

But I was HOOKED! Like- every time we went back I had to stop there. Years later when the hubs & I traveled through I had to take him there & share with him what I had been obsessed with all those years.

Roasted Potatoes

While it’s not the experience so much that I fondly remember – it’s the flavor of those potatoes. I swoon over them. So since I really have no good reason to frequently visit Oregon now – I have had to learn to make my own.

Only I add a little parmesan, parsley & chives at the end that takes them to a whole new level of YUM! They are over the top DELICIOUS & I know you will LOVE them as much as I do.

Here are some commonly asked questions

Why do I need to soak the potatoes first?

It is important to soak the potatoes first to leach out a lot of the starch and will keep them from sticking together and helps with getting them nice and crispy. It also helps to keep them from browning too much during the mixing process.

How many can this serve?

This will depend on your self-control and portions for sure. This recipe is enough for my 5 adult appetites in our house to get through game-day. But if you are feeding more than that, I encourage you to double the recipe.

Can this recipe be doubled?

You can, and we do it often. You might need to use multiple baking sheets, but I can tell you that it is worth it to double this recipe. It never lasts very long in this house. SO GOOD!

HOW DO YOU MAKE Parmesan Roasted Potatoes?

1. Wash & cut the potatoes into thin round slices & place in large bowl.
2. Once you have cut all the potatoes fill the bowl with enough water to cover them.
3. Add about 2 cups ice to the bowl & let sit for about 30 minutes.
4. Once potatoes have soaked for 30 minutes – remove from the water & pat them dry with a paper towel.
5. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
6. Place dried potatoes in a large zip top bag with garlic powder, paprika, salt & pepper – zip closed & shake well to coat potatoes.
7. Add in olive oil, close bag & shake to coat evenly.
8. Remove the potatoes from the bag & lay in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet – it may take more than one baking sheet.
9. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through & are brown & crispy on the outside.
10. Remove & immediately transfer to a large bowl, add in parmesan cheese, parsley & chives & toss to coat.
11. Serve with ranch dressing or ketchup while hot.

Place any leftover potatoes in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
