• Versatile enough to pair with just about anything.

With only a handful of ingredients, this recipe proves that simple flavors—done right—can steal the show. All you really need are some baby gold or red potatoes, a little butter or oil, shredded Parmesan cheese, and a generous coating of Dan-O’s Seasoning to bring the flavor to life.

How To Make Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

Start by slicing your baby potatoes in half so each one has a flat side. That’s where all the crispy, cheesy magic happens. Preheat your oven to 425°F and grab a baking dish or cast-iron skillet.

Melt a few tablespoons of butter directly in the pan or drizzle in some olive oil. Sprinkle a layer of Parmesan cheese right into the butter—it might seem like a lot, but trust us, that’s how you get that beautiful crust. Then, season that cheese layer with a hearty shake of Dan-O’s Original Seasoning (or whichever blend you love most—Cheesoning or Preem-O both work great here).

Press the cut side of each potato into the Parmesan layer so it’s fully coated. Pop the pan into the oven and roast for about 25–30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is deep golden brown. Once they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes before flipping them out of the pan. You’ll see that perfectly crispy, cheesy crust clinging to each potato—absolute perfection.

Tips for Perfectly Crispy Parmesan Potatoes

• Don’t skimp on the cheese layer. A generous coating ensures the crust releases cleanly and gives you that irresistible crunch.

• Give them space. If the potatoes are too crowded, steam will build up and the crust won’t crisp properly.

• Use real Parmesan cheese. Freshly shredded or grated Parmesan works best here—powdered varieties tend to burn quickly.

• Season smart. A balanced seasoning blend like Dan-O’s keeps things flavorful without going overboard on salt.

What To Serve With Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

These cheesy, buttery potatoes pair perfectly with just about any main dish. Here are some of our favorites:

• Chipotle Shakshuka: The smoky tomato base adds a little kick that balances the richness of the potatoes.

Make It Your Own

You can customize these Parmesan Crusted Potatoes any way you like. Try swapping in Dan-O’s Spicy for a little heat, or use Dan-O’s Cheesoning to double down on that cheesy flavor. Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra aroma, or toss the cooked potatoes in a bit of garlic butter for even more richness.

If you’re making them for a crowd, serve them with a side of sour cream or ranch for dipping—they’ll disappear fast.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Whether you’re planning a Sunday dinner, a backyard cookout, or a holiday spread, these potatoes fit right in. They’re easy to prep, quick to bake, and taste amazing straight out of the oven. You can even make them ahead of time and reheat them in an air fryer to bring the crisp back.
