Preparation

How to prepare Crispy Cheese Potatoes

To prepare the crispy cheese potatoes, first peel the potatoes 1, then cut them in half 2 and then into wedges 3.

Place them in a bowl, cover them with water 4, and let them rest for 30 minutes. This will remove the starch. Now drain them 5, transfer them to a tray, and pat them dry with paper towels 6.

Season them with salt 7. Now in another bowl, prepare the breading: pour in the breadcrumbs, grated pecorino 8, and grated parmesan 9.

Mix well 10. Remove any paper from the potatoes and add the breading 11, mix to coat them entirely 12.

Transfer the potatoes to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add a drizzle of oil 13, mix, and bake in a preheated static oven at 400°F on the middle rack for 40 minutes. When they are well browned, remove them from the oven and serve your potatoes 15.
