Bruschetta Butter Potatoes ~ Tasty Side Dish

These potatoes are every kind of delicious. The outsides are crispy with brown butter flavor, while the insides are light and fluffy. Even more delicious flavor with the classic addition of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. 

Ingredients Needed:

  • Russet Potatoes ~ Yukon gold potatoes would also be great for this recipe. 
  • Butter ~ Olive oil can be substituted but the browned butter flavor is delicious with these potatoes.
  • Sweet Garlic and Onion Rub ~ My favorite seasoning mix for vegetables and so good to have on hand for anything on the grill. 
  • Mozzarella Cheese ~ Melts perfectly over the tomatoes. 
  • Tomatoes ~ If you have garden fresh tomatoes, they are the best. Can tomatoes work great too, just drain from the juice.
  • Basil ~ Fresh basil or any fresh herbs that you have on hand will add great flavor to the potatoes.

  • Garnish with basil or fresh herbs and serve immediately.

If you have your grill going, I highly recommend finishing these potatoes on the grill. They tomatoes pick up smoky flavor that takes this to the next level of deliciousness. If you aren’t grilling, just pop them in the oven for the cheese to melt.

How to Store and Reheat:

Store potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

Potatoes can be reheated in a microwave in 30 second intervals, in a covered skillet with butter over medium heat or in an air fryer at 350° for about 3- 4 minutes.

Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole is always a favorite and can be served for any meal of the day. This recipe is from scratch and has a rich and creamy sauce instead of can soup. 

Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes are quick and easy and so delicious. One of my favorites to make for summer meals without heating up the oven.

Smoked Sausage Potato Rounds are delicious and are also finished on the grill for that delicious smoky flavor. Great with a grilled steak or pork chops.

Garlic Dill New Potatoes are super simple and full of delicious flavors. Great for any weeknight meal or add them to any holiday menu.
