how to make Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes with Crispy Charred Edges

Ingredients :

• 3 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes (Cut into even wedges (approx. 1.36kg))
• 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (60ml)
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt (5g)
• 1 tsp Coarse Black Pepper Flakes (2g)
• 6 cloves Garlic (Finely minced (30g))
• 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (Freshly grated (90g))
• 1/2 cup Fresh Italian Parsley (Finely chopped (15g))

Directions :

1. Prep and Season: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the potatoes into even wedges. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and mix well. Add the potato wedges and toss to coat them evenly.

2. Roasting: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. Halfway through, give them a good toss to ensure even cooking. When they appear golden brown, sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.

3. Finish: When the cheese is melted and the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh touch.
