Description

Browned Butter Roasted Potatoes with Parmesan are irresistibly crispy, golden potatoes tossed in nutty browned butter and sprinkled with savory Parmesan cheese. A simple yet gourmet side dish that pairs perfectly with almost any meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Arrange potatoes cut side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
  6. Drizzle browned butter over the roasted potatoes and toss gently to coat.
  7. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and toss again.
  8. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Watch the butter closely while browning—it can go from golden to burnt quickly.
  • Feel free to add garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best texture and taste.
