Browned Butter Roasted Potatoes with Parmesan

Browned Butter Roasted Potatoes with Parmesan

Ingredients

  • 1/4-1/3 cup olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic

    finely chopped or minced

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese

    fresh grated

  • 3 pounds red potatoes

    washed and quartered

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons fresh parsley

    finely chopped, for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200°C). Grease a large baking sheet with non-stick spray or olive oil. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, garlic, salt, herbs, pepper and parmesan cheese together, mixing to combine. Add the remaining oil if the parmesan cheese has absorbed most of it.

  3. 3

    Toss potatoes through the mixture to evenly coat.

  4. 4

    Arrange coated potatoes in a single layer onto prepared baking sheet. Spread them out and bake for 45-50 minutes, carefully turning every 15 minutes or so with tongs or with a spatula, until potatoes are browned and edges are crisp. For extra crispy potatoes, broil (or grill) for 2-4 minutes, or until browned to your liking.

Extra-Crispy Parmesan-Crusted Roasted Potatoes

These potatoes combine the fluffy interior and crispy exterior of the best roasted potatoes with the crunchy cheese crust of Detroit-style pizza. The initial boil with aromatics adds herbal flavor to the potatoes, without the potential of burned herbs in the final roast, while baking soda in the water helps soften the surface of the potato, releasing starch. This starch combines with Parmesan and melted butter to form a flavorful slurry that crisps up and coats each potato chunk in a cheesy shell.

Imagine perfectly golden, crisp-edged potatoes infused with a rich, nutty browned butter aroma and savory Parmesan cheese. This recipe for Browned Butter Roasted Potatoes with Parmesan promises a side dish that’s far from ordinary, effortlessly elevating any meal from a simple weeknight dinner to a festive holiday spread.

Why This Recipe Works

The magic of browned butter truly transforms simple roasted potatoes, adding an incredible depth of flavor that complements the robust garlic and a vibrant mix of dried herbs. This thoughtful combination creates a rich, complex profile that stands out. Finishing the potatoes with fresh Parmesan cheese forms an irresistible savory crust, making each bite exceptionally satisfying.

You can anticipate tender, fluffy interiors encased in beautifully browned, savory exteriors. Each bite delivers a burst of aromatic garlic and a harmonious blend of dried parsley, thyme, and oregano, all balanced by the salty, umami notes of fresh grated Parmesan cheese. The distinctive browned butter lends a subtle, toasted nuttiness that makes these potatoes truly special and deeply flavorful, a perfect addition to any table.

Customization & Variations

While red potatoes offer a wonderful texture for roasting, you could explore other waxy potato varieties. Feel free to adjust the dried herb blend to your preference, perhaps adding a touch of dried rosemary or a pinch of marjoram. If you’re a fan of a sharper cheese, experimenting with Pecorino Romano in place of Parmesan could add an intriguing twist.

Serving & Context

These savory Browned Butter Roasted Potatoes with Parmesan make an ideal accompaniment to roasted chicken, seared steak, or any holiday meal, easily becoming a much-anticipated element on the plate. Garnish with a generous sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a bright finish.
