Are potatoes nutritious?

Yes, potatoes are nutritious. They often get a bad reputation, but they actually provide important nutrients:

  • Potassium โ€“ more than a banana per serving, which helps with blood pressure control
  • Vitamin C โ€“ supports your immune system
  • Fiber โ€“ especially if you leave the skin on, which helps digestion
  • Vitamin B6 โ€“ important for metabolism and brain health
  • Carbohydrates โ€“ give energy, especially useful as a fuel source

Theyโ€™re naturally low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium. The way you cook them makes the biggest difference. Baking or boiling is healthier than frying, and adding cheese or butter increases calories and fat. But in a balanced meal, potatoes can be a good and filling option.

However, it’s important to note that the nutritional content of potatoes can vary depending on the type of potato, the cooking method, and the presence of added ingredients.ย For example, fried potatoes tend to be higher in calories and fat than boiled or baked potatoes.ย Parmesan Potatoes are baked, not fried, so theyโ€™re lower in fat.

Parmesan Potatoes

Crispy on the outside and tender in the middle, Parmesan Potatoes are simple and full of flavor. Theyโ€™re quick to prepare and go with just about any dinner. We like them best straight from the oven while the cheese is golden and crisp.

Use russet or Yukon gold potatoes for best results. You can swap Parmesan for another hard cheese, but avoid soft cheeses. They wonโ€™t crisp the same way. Garlic powder or smoked paprika can add extra flavor.

We like this recipe because it only takes a few steps and doesnโ€™t require a lot of prep.

Helpful cleanup tip: use parchment paper or foil to keep cleanup easy and prevent sticking.

soak in water

Slice the potatoes thinly and soak them in water for about 5 minutes. This will help draw some of the starch out. Soaking is optional; if you don’t have time, you can skip this step.

foil

Cover your roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

sliced potatoes

Drain potatoes and dry slightly with a paper towel. Coat with oil and seasonings.

ready for the oven

Place in a layer in the roasting pan.

Parmesan Potato Tips

A single layer will result in crisper chips. The photo above shows the potatoes layered on top of each other. In the video, I spread the slices in a single layer and they turned out more crisp. Both are tasty, make them to your preference.

Two important tips

I don’t recommend making this recipe ahead. Theyโ€™re best fresh. You can prep the potatoes early, then bake right before serving.

Also, don’t use the powdery Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated parmesan will crisp better.

Creamy Basil Sauce

Serve with Creamy Basil Sauce recipe below or I also think crumbled bacon would be awesome, because really, can you have too much bacon?

This would also be great served with Basil Cream Sauce
2 T chopped fresh basil
1 clove chopped garlic
1/2 c Greek yogurt
1/2 c mayonnaise
juice of one lemon
pinch of ground black pepper

This sauce is also good on fish and fish or shrimp tacos, on chicken sandwiches or a nice big hamburger!!

Here’s a few more recipes to try

These potatoes are a go-to side dish in our kitchen because theyโ€™re simple and always turn out. Theyโ€™re great for weeknights or to take to a dinner. You donโ€™t need anything fancy to make them taste good.
