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
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Arrange potatoes cut side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- 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.
- Drizzle browned butter over the roasted potatoes and toss gently to coat.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and toss again.
- 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.
