This delectable side dish is more than just a simple recipe; it’s an experience that delivers a burst of flavor, warmth, and a touch of Italian culinary tradition right to your dinner table. The combination of crispy, golden-brown potatoes, aromatic herbs, and savory garlic makes this dish a perfect companion to a variety of mains or a delightful standalone vegetarian meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered red potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss well until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
Once roasted, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
