Prosciutto Potato Bundles in a Casserole Dish

These Prosciutto Potato Bundles are an elegant yet surprisingly simple side dish made with tender potatoes wrapped in salty, savory prosciutto and baked until beautifully golden. The potatoes become tender and flavorful while the prosciutto develops delicious crisp edges.

This recipe is perfect for holiday dinners, Sunday suppers, dinner parties, or whenever you want an impressive potato side dish without complicated preparation.

Ingredients

• 1½ pounds baby potatoes
• 8–10 slices prosciutto
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

How to Make Prosciutto Potato Bundles

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger, cut them in half so they cook evenly.

Place the potatoes in a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, black pepper, and salt.

2. Wrap the Potatoes

Cut the prosciutto slices into pieces large enough to wrap around the potatoes.

Place a potato at the end of each piece of prosciutto and wrap it securely.

Arrange the wrapped potatoes seam-side down in a lightly greased casserole dish.

3. Add Parmesan

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potato bundles.

The cheese will melt into the prosciutto and create a flavorful golden topping as the dish bakes.

4. Bake

Cover the casserole dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely tender and the prosciutto is crisp around the edges.

Test a potato with a fork to make sure it is cooked through.

5. Garnish and Serve

Remove the casserole dish from the oven and allow the potato bundles to rest for a few minutes.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Arrange the bundles on a serving platter or serve directly from the casserole dish.

Tips for the Best Prosciutto Potato Bundles

Choose baby potatoes that are similar in size so they cook evenly.

If your potatoes are particularly large, cut them into smaller pieces before wrapping.

Prosciutto is naturally salty, so use salt sparingly when seasoning the potatoes.

For crispier prosciutto, leave the casserole uncovered during the final portion of baking.

Freshly grated Parmesan gives the best flavor and melts beautifully over the potatoes.

What to Serve With Prosciutto Potato Bundles

These potato bundles pair beautifully with roasted chicken, beef tenderloin, pork roast, baked ham, turkey, or grilled steak.

They are especially good for holiday meals alongside roasted vegetables, green beans, and a fresh salad.

How to Store Leftovers

Allow leftovers to cool before placing them in an airtight container.

Refrigerate for up to 3–4 days.

Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven until hot and crisp. An air fryer also works well for restoring the crisp texture of the prosciutto.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular potatoes?

Yes. Yukon Gold or red potatoes can be cut into smaller pieces and used instead of baby potatoes.

Can I add cheese inside the bundles?

Yes. A small piece of mozzarella, Gruyère, or Parmesan can be tucked alongside the potato before wrapping it with prosciutto.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the potato bundles several hours ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Bake when ready, adding a little extra cooking time if necessary.
