Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (firm texture)
Coating
- 1 cup plant-based Parmesan (grated)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel your potatoes if you prefer. Cut them into evenly sized cubes or wedges to ensure they cook uniformly, providing a tender inside with a crispy outside.
- Parboil for Softness: Place the potatoes in boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. This step primes them for a fluffy interior once baked.
- Drain and Roughen: Drain the parboiled potatoes well and return them to the pot. Give the pot a gentle shake to roughen the edges, which will help hold on to the Parmesan Crust better.
- Coat with Flavor: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, plant-based Parmesan, garlic powder (natural), black pepper, salt, parsley, and a pinch of natural gelling agent to bind everything together.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the crust is deeply golden and crispy.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven, sprinkle extra fresh parsley, and serve immediately to enjoy the full crunch and savory Parmesan Crusted Potatoes experience.
Notes
- Dry potatoes thoroughly before coating to avoid soggy results and get a crisp texture.
- Use freshly grated plant-based Parmesan for better melting and crispiness.
- Preheat your oven fully before baking for maximum crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the baking tray to allow even heat circulation and crisping.
- Turn potatoes halfway through baking to ensure an even golden crust.
