Roasted Golden Potatoes are a SIMPLE delicious dish with butter, Parmesan cheese and spices. It only takes 5-7 minutes to prep, then bake!
If you’re looking for a new and simple way to serve potatoes, I hope you’ll check out this recipe for Roasted Golden Potatoes. I wrote the original recipe down many years ago on a 3″ x 5″ card but failed to make note of where I got it!
The recipe card has been sitting in an old recipe box of mine for years and years, so I had forgotten about it and how ridiculously easy it is to prepare! It hardly takes any effort to make this delicious side dish because you use canned whole potatoes, butter, Parmesan and a couple common spices!
Honestly… it takes longer to preheat our oven than it does to get these potatoes ready! Here’s how to make enough roasted golden potatoes for 6 small servings.

What Kind Of Potatoes To Use
This dish uses two 15-ounce cans of whole white potatoes, also known as “new” potatoes. They can be found in most grocery stores and are simply peeled whole small potatoes in a water base.
The potatoes are pre-cooked during the manufacturer’s canning process, so they come right out of the can ready to party!
Here We Go!
The first thing you will need to do is preheat your oven to 350°F. because it only takes a few minutes to get the potatoes seasoned and ready! Drain the potatoes very well, then place the whole potatoes in the (ungreased) baking dish in a single layer.
Season The Potatoes
Melt 4 Tablespoons of butter (equal to half a stick of butter), then drizzle it all over the potatoes. Carefully turn over and rotate the potatoes to make sure all sides get some of the melted butter on them.
Sprinkle the top of the potatoes with seasoning salt and garlic powder. After that, lightly sprinkle the potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese. TIP: Don’t have seasoning salt? You can make your own with my recipe here.
NOTE: You can use either fresh, finely shredded Parmesan cheese OR the kind you find in the pasta section in a shaker can. Either variety works well! Use whatever type of Parmesan you prefer or have available.
In the 2nd photo below, I have shown the potatoes topped with Kraft parmesan cheese. I always have both types of parmesan on hand but realize many people may only have the type in the can, so I used that for the photos.
The last step before baking is to lightly sprinkle the potatoes with paprika and then top them with fresh chopped parsley. The parsley will provide a “pop” of color to this dish and adds a bit of flavor, as well!
Bake And Serve The Roasted Golden Potatoes
When your oven has fully preheated, bake the roasted golden potatoes (uncovered) on the middle oven rack at 350°F. for 25 minutes.
When the potatoes are done cooking, remove the baking dish from the oven. The roasted golden potatoes should be fully heated through, and have a beautiful “golden” color on top!
Serve the roasted golden potatoes immediately while hot! We enjoyed this this time served with ham and a broccoli cashew stir-fry, and we really enjoyed them ALL!
Note: Canned whole potatoes are fairly small, yet the sizes can vary with each can. We typically use about 3 potatoes per serving, but of course that number may vary slightly depending on your needs or the portion size desired.
I hope you have the opportunity to make this simple, but tasty vegetable side dish and trust you will enjoy it, too! It’s so simple to prepare and is a great side dish to “throw together” on a busy evening!
Thank you so much for stopping by and I invite you to come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you, and have a wonderful day!
