Description
Parmesan roasted potatoes are a crispy, cheesy, and buttery side dish that’s incredibly easy to make. Scored red potatoes roast to golden perfection with a crunchy Parmesan base and tender center—perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons herb seasoning (divided; e.g., Mrs. Dash)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 lbs red potatoes, washed and halved
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Place butter in a 9×13-inch baking pan and put the pan in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), allowing the butter to melt as it heats.
- While the butter melts, score the cut sides of the potato halves in a crisscross pattern.
- In a bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons herb seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Once the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the butter.
- Place the scored potatoes cut side down onto the cheese mixture in the pan.
- Spray the tops of the potatoes with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon herb seasoning.
- Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and the bottoms are golden and crispy.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs or cheese if desired.
Notes
- Swap herb seasoning for Cajun, garlic powder, or onion powder for a different flavor.
- Yukon gold or tri-color potatoes also work well.
- Try adding mozzarella or cheddar in the last 10 minutes for extra cheesiness.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
