Ingredients

• 1½ pounds baby potatoes
• 8–10 slices prosciutto
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Salt, to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

How to Make Prosciutto Potato Bundles

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger than bite-size, cut them in half.

Place the potatoes in a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and a small amount of salt.

2. Wrap the Potatoes

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

Place a seasoned potato on each piece of prosciutto and wrap it securely.

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

3. Add Parmesan

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the potato bundles.

The cheese will melt as the dish bakes, creating a flavorful golden topping.

4. Bake

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

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

5. Garnish and Serve

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

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Potato Bundles

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

Because prosciutto and Parmesan are naturally salty, season the potatoes lightly and adjust after cooking if necessary.

For crispier prosciutto, leave the casserole uncovered during the final 15–20 minutes.

Freshly grated Parmesan gives the best flavor and melts beautifully.

What to Serve With Prosciutto Potato Bundles

These golden potato bundles pair wonderfully with roast chicken, pork tenderloin, baked ham, steak, roasted turkey, or grilled vegetables.

They also make a delicious brunch side with scrambled eggs and fresh fruit.

How to Store Leftovers

Place cooled leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days.

For the best texture, reheat them in a 400°F (200°C) oven or air fryer until hot and crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use larger potatoes?

Yes. Cut larger potatoes into smaller pieces so they cook evenly before wrapping them in prosciutto.

Can I prepare these ahead?

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

Can I use another cheese?

Yes. Gruyère, mozzarella, Swiss, or sharp cheddar can be used instead of Parmesan.
