Throwback Thursday, Magic Parmesan Garlic Butter Potatoes
The other day HHjr came home with groceries to make dinner~
Cornish hens, Brussels sprouts, a bag of Yukon Gold potatoes,
and Kerry Gold Garlic & Herb butter
“I’m going to make your Magic Potatoes with this butter” he said
“Wow, sounds great, thank you!” I replied…
AND
let me tell you, these were amazing!!!
Thinking a lot about all things Irish this month
with the St. Patrick’s Day holiday,
I have been reading about how good Kerry Gold Irish butter is~
I hadn’t ever seen the garlic and herb kind,
but he found it at our regular grocery store [Publix]
You can check for stores near you with their store locater here
You can use red potatoes, russet potatoes or Yukon gold
When the potatoes are done,
they are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside,
and full of roasted, cheesy, salty, buttery garlic flavor~
Wash the potatoes and cut them half lengthwise
Adjust cooking time according to the size of your potatoes
You can use a pan or an oven proof skillet
Pan size will depend on how many potatoes you’re cooking
After making these several times,
I learned to line the pan with parchment paper first
[not shown in these photos]
to prevent sticking and then add butter
Pour melted butter into a baking pan on parchment paper
until it is about 1/4″deep
Drizzle liberally with olive oil
Combining the oil with the melted butter
keeps the butter from burning
Make a PILE of Parmesan in the spot where each potato half will go
I used a shallow rectangular pan for 3 russet potatoes
A shallow round baking pan fit 6 1/2 red potatoes
HHjr used a cast iron skillet for 7 Yukon Gold potatoes
Top potatoes with a drizzle of Olive oil
and sprinkle with Kosher salt, sea salt, or garlic salt
Bake potatoes at 400 degrees for 45-60 minutes,
basting half way through cooking time with pan juices
Adjust cooking time according to size and type of potato
Potatoes are done when easily pierced with a fork
The cheese will form a crispy crust as the potatoes cook
When potatoes are done, immediately turn them over using a spatula,
keeping cheese crust in place
By doing this right away, while they are hot from the oven,
they won’t stick to the pan if you’re not using parchment
When you bite into these, you taste the salty crust
and the garlic herb butter soft potato, so good!
Serve these as a side dish or an appetizer with a sour cream dipping sauce
Magic Parmesan Garlic Butter Potatoes
Ingredients
- Idaho baking potatoes, red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
- Kerry Gold Garlic Herb butter or unsalted real butter
- sea salt or garlic salt
- finely grated Parmesan cheese be generous
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Choose a pan size that will fit the number of potato halves you are cooking
- Cut washed potatoes in half lengthwise. Line pan with parchment paper to keep potatoes from sticking if desired.
- Pour melted butter, enough to make a pool about 1/4″ deep, into a baking pan or on top of paper
- Add about 1/4 cup Olive oil, drizzling it evenly over butter in pan. Make one mound of cheese where each half will go. Put potatoes cut side down on top of cheese.
- Drizzle potatoes with more Olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt. Roast at 400 about 1 hour, checking for doneness. Baste with pan juices halfway through cooking time
- Immediately and gently invert potato halves when you remove them from the oven to prevent the crust from sticking to the pan.

With Parmesan and Kerrygold, these potatoes are guaranteed DELICIOUS!
Yes!!!
Thanks Jenna for sharing this very clever and delicious recipe.
Thanks Bernadette, they are so good!
This has to be a perfect food! Both potatoes and cheese in one dish. Crispy at that!
Thanks Dorothy, so good!
Jenna, this looks fabulous! I would not need any meat, this would be a main dish for me. Who doesn’t love potatoes?!
Happy Thursday!
ha, I agree!!
We can all use a little magic in our lives. I think this would do it for me!
Dangerously good!
Oh my! These look fabulous Jenna! I’m trying these VERY soon – thanks! 💛
Thanks so much Barbara, enjoy!
Oh those do look good! Crispy and tasty goodness with each bite!
Thanks Nancy, yes they are amazing!
HHjr is just the sweetest! The meal sounds delicious but the potatoes I have to make! I have Kerry Gold butter in the refrigerator although not garlic so I’ll make them soon. Thanks Jenna for the recipe, I know you enjoyed this…….
Thanks Emily, yes, he really spoils me 🙂 These potatoes are worth every calorie!!
I LOVE Kerry Gold butter, and since it is grass-fed, it’s supposed to have vitamin K in it that helps absorb the vitamin D. – which is good. But Garlic and Herb???? Never seen it before, but now I’ll look. That HHRjr rocks.
The butter is amazing, I can’t wait to try it for garlic bread and lots of other recipes. If your Publix doesn’t have it I bet they can get it.
Pass the potatoes my way Jenna, I know they were delicious! ♥
Dangerously good!
Well, this got copied and saved before I even finished reading the post! OMG!
Ha, ha, it’s a good one Jeanie!
These look delicious!
thank you, my favorite way to make potatoes!
Roasted potatoes have overtaken my love for mashed potatoes.
These are my all time favorite starchy side dish!
Um, these sound delicious Jenna! I’m pretty sure we don’t have Kerrygold here in the grocery store so I’ll have to snoop around a bit to see what I can substitute. Pinned!
Oh Kim, these are sooo good! If you can’t get Kerry Gold garlic butter, just use real butter and garlic bread seasoning. The potatoes are also good with just butter and Parmesan, it’s my favorite way to cook potatoes.
These Parmesan garlic butter potatoes look so very, very tasty! I am making these soon!
Please do, they are amazing!!
I can’t wait to try these, Jenna. I have Kerrygold butter but not with the herbs. I will have to add some! Yum!
These are my very favorite potatoes Kitty, and the garlic butter sends them over the top!
I have a huge bag of potatoes that I need to use up. This sounds like a great way to do so. Yummy!
These Magic Potatoes are our absolute favorite potatoes, I hope you enjoy them Christy!
