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?
- Wash & cut the potatoes into thin round slices & place in large bowl.

Will definitely try this recipe. It looks really delicious and I personally love potatoes. Thanks for sharing this!
Emily says
The cooking instructions may be off- we put the potatoes in the oven at 450 and checked them at 20 mins (the recipe said 35-45 mins) because it smelled like smoke and they all burned to being inedible. Maybe we sliced them too thin? In any case, we are saddened and couldn’t try them this time. So warning to all- watch them closely in your oven!
Sherrie says
Recipe says 1/4 cup parmesan cheese twice. What fo i fo with the second 1/4 cup?
Gina Kleinworth says
One is grated, one is shredded. You can use all of one kind if you like, but I like the difference in textures by adding the 2 different kinds.
Cealy says
Just wondering how thick to slice the potatoes? Sounds like a great recipe and I’m looking forward to trying it! Thanks!
Gina Kleinworth says
I didn’t pay too close attention to keeping them exactly uniform as you can probably see in the pictures. I think if you keep them between 1/8″-1/4″ that should be good.
Hannah says
They burned beyond recognition within 20 minutes, and I didn’t slice them very thin
Gina Kleinworth says
I’m so sorry to hear that. Because ovens and rack placement can vary so greatly, we always try to also include a doneness indicator to look for when giving cooking times in an effort to prevent issues like this.
Pam says
These potatoes are amazing! So tasty!
