This came out extremely salty. I followed the recipe. Could not eat it was so salty.
Trisha says
I cant say that I have had that feedback before, but you may be really sensitive to foods with salt. The great thing is that you do not have to add additional salt or seasoning to this dish for it to work, so next time just eliminate the extra tsp of salt or make sure your seasoning doesn’t have salt in it. The recipe will still work fine 🙂

Trisha,
What is herb seasoning?
Trisha says
hi David! A lot of brands do Herb Seasoning Blends, which usually consist of onion, pepper, cumin, oregeno, garlic – there will be several “flavor” choices. If you check the spice aisle of your store, Mrs. Dash carries quite a few blends – I prefer “original” and “garlic and herb” seasoning blend.
Vanessa says
Hi Trisha,
Can I use baby red potatoes?
Trisha says
Like the tiny, tiny ones? You can but you may need less cooking time so just watch it and remove when fork tender.
Mary says
I tried this recipe. Pros- seasoning plus Parmesan were delicious. Perfect baking time and very easy to make. Only con- WAY too much butter. Since the potatoes were scored, the entire potato was saturated (which I’m
Sure is the point), but the potato didn’t have any flavor other than straight butter. I’m trying next time with only a half stick to see if that helps. Otherwise the recipe is great!
Kathleen says
Looks yummy! But, tell me, isn’t there a lot of wasted Parmesan that doesn’t stick to potatoes? Or, do you scrape the pan and toss it with the poatatoes?
Trisha Haas says
I havent had any issues with sticking personally because I Use a metal spatula to get right under the potato but in case OF sticking, yes, I would just scoop off and throw on the potatoes for sure.
Betty says
Haven’t tried yet. But it looks really yummy!! I was wondering if you use the grated parmesan in the canister you find in the pasta isle or the
grated-shredded parmesan in the cheese isle of the grocery store?
Trisha Haas says
Just regular canned parmesan is fine!
Patti says
Great recipe; potatoes come out perfectly cooked and delicious. I halved the recipe for 3 of us and didn’t have any leftovers thanks to my husband! I did sub Kinders Butttery Steakhouse blend for the herb blend and omitted the salt called for. Thanks for the post!
Susan Cain says
Delicious. Next time I’ll use some dry Italian salad dressing mix for my herb mix. Even my picky eater had to admit they were tasty! Perfectly seasoned.
Hutch Mom says
Ok so I just made these and I had some brussel sprouts I had to use up from my farm box so I added those as well. Omg amazing! My husband loved them and he is not a fan of the sprouts usually. Will definitely make again and try other veggies that way.
Dennis Jablonski says
Made these tonite with a slow cooker pot roast.. The potatoes were EXCELLENT! As usual, had to substitute-didn’t have enough red potoes, so I used baby Yukon Gold, and used Penzeys Italian Herb Mix, which is a relatively coarse grind—-SO YUMMY!
Cindi Saltzgiver says
These potatoes are delicious. They will now be a quick “go to” for many family dinners.
