How to make Crispy Parmesan Potatoes
Tips from the cook
- Press the potatoes cut side down onto the parmesan, so they pick up a crisp crust.
- Leave them alone for the full roasting time, so the cheese crisps before you lift them.
- Loosen them gently, so the crust stays on the potato.
- No chilli oil? Use olive oil with a pinch more chilli flakes.

Meal prep and storage
Best fresh from the oven. Reheat in the oven rather than the microwave to keep the crust crisp.
