I first shared this “recipe” (a term I’m using very loosely here) on IGE in 2011, and it was a runaway hit on Pinterest almost immediately. I didn’t understand, but I also did.

This simple side dish is a no-brainer – cooked potatoes are slathered with butter, sprinkled with seasoned salt and parmesan cheese, and then broiled. Ridiculously easy yet unbelievably yummy. The butter soaks into the crevices so the skin get nice and crispy under the broiler, while the combination of seasoned salt and browned parmesan cheese on top is crazy addicting.

Because the potatoes are broiled, the dish is great to make any time of year, but we tend to make these seasoned broiled potato halves during grilling season, especially. Crispy, sizzling, buttery, and cheesy – they would make a fine addition to any dinner plate!

How to Make Seasoned Broiled Potatoes

Start by lightly piercing 2 russet potatoes (or more or less – just plan on 1/2 potato per person) all over with a fork then microwave for 6-8 minutes, flipping every 2 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center goes in easily.

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice in half, then cut each half into squares being careful not to slice all the way through the skin.

Transfer the potato halves to a foil-lined, nonstick-sprayed baking sheet then brush each half with melted butter. Sprinkle with homemade seasoned salt and plenty of freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Broil the potato halves on a rack placed in the center of the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Transfer the buttery, crispy potato halves onto plates then devour! I know you’ll LOVE this easy, dreamy side dish – enjoy!
