How to Make the BEST Cheesy Potatoes | Crispy Manchego Potatoes
These Crispy Manchego Potatoes are seriously addicting. We´re talking super crispy potatoes, melted Manchego cheese and sliced garlic to take things to another level. But the best part? This recipe is easy to make, made with minimal ingredients and packed with so much goodness.
You can serve the cheesy potatoes as a tapas appetizer to enjoy during game day, or even as a side dish next to some grilled fish. Either way, these potatoes promise to be the best-ever cheesy potatoes.
The Manchego Cheese I used (10% OFF Your Order with Code ¨ONAFORK¨) was aged for 6 months. So its got a rich flavor to it, but it also easily melts. You can use whatever cheese you like here. Just make sure it has some age to it. As that is what really flavors this dish.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I used russet potatoes in this recipe. You want to use potatoes that are more starchy than waxy here. As they contain less moisture and will achieve that crispy texture.

Line a baking rack with parchment paper? Should it say a baking pan in stead?
