These Crunchy Parmesan Potato Bites make a perfect snack or a great side dish for almost any meal. I need to emphasize that the Parmesan used for this recipe is not just any parmesan.

This is sold in the refrigerated section of your market. It is already grated, which will save you time. However, this is the Parmesan that will make these bites what they are. The regular Parmesan that is sold in the pasta aisle will not be the same.

I usually slice my potatoes for this dish, but you could quarter the potatoes and have them more like Steak Fries, or you could cut them into chunks and that would be fabulous also.

These are the perfect accompaniment for freshly grilled steaks or chicken on the grill.
