Manchego Potatoes
Print Recipe

This is a wonderful Crisp Manchego Potatoes recipe with yummy manchego cheese. Simple and tasty!! Manchego is one of my least used but most favorite cheeses. It is very similar to a parmesan, but slightly creamier and a little nuttier. It is fantastic! On that note, though, you can sub parmesan or pecorino or even cheddar here. I wouldn’t turn my nose up at any of those variations. A great recipe for the holidays and as a side dish when having a family dinner.
