Hints & tips

Potato - The recipe uses smaller potatoes such as baby whites or red skinned potato. You can use larger ones, cut them roughly into the same size pieces - roughly 3cm square.

Parmesan - Using a hard cheese like parmesan stops the cheese from getting too crispy say like cheddar would. I wouldn’t recommend using any other cheese for this recipe.

Serving suggestion - A great dish to serve with a BBQ. Try changing the usual hot chips for these when cooking steak - perfect with a crisp green salad.

Portion size - This recipe would half easily. If you want to try doubling it I would recommend doing it in two dishes to make sure you get the desired crispy, cheesy effect.

Storage - These will keep in the fridge for 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil before putting in the oven.
