Vegetable Stuffed Parmesan Potato Baskets

These vegetable stuffed parmesan potato baskets are a crispy mix of parmesan crisps and potato nests. Filled with sauteed vegetables they are a fun and flavorful appetizer.
I’ve always loved parmigiano, especially when baked until golden and crisp like in these baked cheese crisps or layered into something comforting like zucchini parmigiano. When I discovered you could turn it into edible baskets, I had to try filling them with sautéed vegetables!
My kids, on the other hand, are not quite as obsessed with parmigiano as I am. That’s when the Italian suggested mixing in some shredded potato. These vegetable stuffed potato Parmesan baskets were born and let’s just say they were an instant hit!
