Parmesan Garlic Butter Baby Red Potatoes are the greatest side dish since “Baked Potatoes”! Small red potatoes are cut in half, baked in garlic butter and topped with crispy baked Parmesan Cheese! In a word… Scrumptious!

I promised a side dish to go with your Father’s Day Ribs!  This is one amazing side that goes great with any grilled main dish! There’s nothing better than an amazing potato dish to kick up your BBQ! 

I began making these Parmesan Garlic Butter Baby Potatoes a couple of years ago! I wanted something different from the traditional baked potato. Something with a little personality!  Boy oh boy do these have personality! 

I love small red potatoes. Not to kick their cousin the “russet” when they’re down…but they are creamier in texture and flavor. (Sorry Russet… I still love ya!) 

These little reds are roasted in butter, garlic salt and Parmesan cheese. See… loads of personality!!!

How To Make Crispy Oven Parmesan Red Potatoes

Wash the red potatoes and slice them in half. 

You’ll need to prepare a large cookie or baking sheet by coating it in melted butter. Make sure it covers every single inch of it.

Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese. For this recipe you need REAL grated Parmesan cheese. Not the green jar…real grated cheese is a must for this one!  (I like mine extra cheesy, so I sprinkle a little more on…you know…just cause it makes me happy!)

Seasoning Roasted Cheesy Potatoes

Time for seasoning the red potatoes. I use garlic salt and a little cracked black pepper. You can add other seasonings, like onion powder, all-purpose seasoning salt. It’s really about personal preference.

Baking Cheesy Red Potatoes

Lay the potatoes cut side down. Their little red fannies should be sticking up in the air for all the world to see! (Maybe we should call these mooners? Lol)

Bake for 30 minutes, until you can easily poke them in their “fannies” with a fork.

Remove from the oven and cool a FULL 5 minutes. It’s really important that you NOT remove the potatoes before the full five minutes for the cheese to stick to the potatoes.

TIP: If you skip this step you will lose all that crispy yummy Parmesan topping!

Use a fork to pull them apart. Plate them on a serving dish.

The cheese is going to hang over the potato edges and that’s fine and dandy! Just a little extra love! We all need a little extra love…right?

Finishing Touches and Serving Ideas for Roasted Potatoes

What you end up with is a hearty, creamy, buttery roasted potato, encrusted with an outer Parmesan cheese layer, and a light hint of garlic.(Kind of like the Rodeo Drive of steak fries… Ohhh-la-la!)

A simple recipe with minimal effort involved. (Which is my kind of side dish!)

They pair up well with your favorite grilled recipes. Whether it’s ribs, chicken, or steak! You can serve them with a side of Ranch Dressing, or sour cream, for dipping!

They are great straight out of the oven too. YUM!!!
