Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C), or heat your grill to medium heat if grilling.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Halve any larger potatoes to ensure even cooking.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh rosemary.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Tear two large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12x12 inches. Divide the seasoned potatoes between the two sheets.
Fold the edges of the foil up and around the potatoes to create sealed pouches, ensuring no steam can escape during cooking.
Place the pouches on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or place them directly on the grill for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork to ensure it's tender.
Carefully open the pouches (be cautious of the hot steam) and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve the potatoes hot directly from the pouches, or transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
