Parmesan Potatoes Anna is a classic side dish that was created in 19th century France. It’s made with thinly sliced potatoes, parmesan cheese, butter, rosemary, salt, and pepper which are layered in a cake pan and then baked until golden brown and fork tender. This dish can be served as either a main or a side dish.
I first tried parmesan potatoes Anna at a small family gathering. I was visiting my uncle and his family in France when he suggested that we try this dish for dinner. It sounded amazing to me so I gladly agreed.
When I arrived, everyone was already busy preparing dinner and the kitchen smelled delicious. They were making parmesan potatoes Anna which was a traditional side dish they loved to make. My uncle explained that it was quite simple to make and that all we needed were potatoes, parmesan cheese, butter, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
My aunt and uncle had already prepped the ingredients in the morning so all that remained was to layer them in a cake pan. A few minutes later they popped it into the oven. While waiting for it to cook my aunt told me about the origins of this dish. Apparently, it was created in France during the 19th century and has been a popular side dish ever since.
When the potatoes were finally ready everyone gathered in the kitchen to enjoy them. I couldn’t believe how flavorful they were! The parmesan cheese gave it a salty and nutty flavor while the rosemary added a nice hint of herby goodness. I was so impressed with the dish that I knew immediately that I wanted to recreate it at home.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190.5°C). In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, and 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Set aside.
Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter. Layer half the potatoes in the pan, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with half of the parmesan cheese and rosemary.
Spread the butter mixture over the potatoes and top with the remaining slices of potatoes. Top with remaining parmesan cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown on top. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
• Make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready before you start layering the potatoes.
• Use a mandoline or slicer to get perfect, evenly sliced potatoes.
• Make sure to grease the cake pan with butter so that the potatoes don’t stick when baking.
• Cook on the lowest possible heat for at least an hour until golden brown and fork tender.
If you don’t have parmesan cheese on hand, you can use any other hard cheese such as cheddar or Gruyere. You can also substitute the rosemary with other herbs of your choice like thyme or oregano.
Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them into the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until hot and bubbly. You can also freeze the dish in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
