Butter-Browned Potatoes
If you love my Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potato Casserole, Easy Corn Pudding, or my famous Birdie Sandwiches, get ready — because these Butter-Browned Potatoes might actually outshine all of them. These things FLY off the table. Honestly, they probably disappear faster than mashed potatoes… and that’s saying something in an Italian-Southern household.
And yes — mashed potatoes are for Thanksgiving…
But Butter-Browned Potatoes?
They’re for Friendsgiving, for holidays, for Sunday dinner… for any night when you want a side dish that makes the entire house smell like heaven.
I reinvented one of my old recipes specifically with Dano’s Seasoning, and using Dano’s Outlaw Butter Dust and Dano’s Primo took this recipe from delicious to unbelievably, ridiculously, crave-worthy good. You can taste that garlicky-buttery depth, the savory Parmesan, and those crispy caramelized edges… I have them in my oven right now and my whole house smells INSANE.
These are the potatoes you make when you want something easy, beautiful, and show-stopping — all with minimal effort. The taste is accelerated for one reason and one reason only, and that is DAN-O’S PREEM-O Seasoning and DAN-O’S OUTLAW SEASONING! DAN-O’S PREEM-O Seasoning is also now available at target! 🙂

🤔 Common Questions
Yes! Red potatoes work best because they get super creamy inside while the bottoms crisp up beautifully. But you can also use Yukon Golds — just avoid russets because they don’t hold their shape as well.
Nope! Leave the skins on. They add flavor, texture, and help the potato stay intact as it crisps.
