Parmesan roasted potatoes is a delicious and appetizing side dish, an even more fragrant variant of sandy potatoes. It's so easy to make: the potatoes are first blanched in boiling salted water in order to remove the starch, then sprinkled with plenty of grated parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs, and finally roasted to form a delicious crust. The final result is a crunchy, golden and very tender dish, perfect to serve with grilled meats, roasts, and fresh and aged cheeses.
