• Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

 

• Preheat the Oven:
• Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Arrange on Baking Sheet:
• Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them cut side down to achieve extra crispiness.
• Roast:
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
• Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
• Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
• Add More Parmesan:
• During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
• Return them to the oven to allow the cheese to melt and form a delicious crust.
