Tips for Perfect Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

✔ Use Freshly Grated Parmesan – It melts better and adds a richer flavor.
✔ Don’t Overcrowd the Basket – Too many potatoes will prevent proper crisping. Cook in batches if necessary.
✔ Shake the Basket – This ensures even cooking and crispiness.
✔ Try Different Seasonings – Add cayenne for spice, or swap Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
