Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Rinse and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into quarters or eighths, depending on their size, ensuring that the pieces are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, minced garlic cloves, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast properly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
While the potatoes are roasting, zest the lemon and finely chop the parsley.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the zested lemon and chopped parsley over the roasted potatoes. Toss lightly to evenly distribute the fresh flavors.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and serve immediately as a delicious side dish or snack.
