Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Romano cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch in diameter.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.
While the potatoes are roasting, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are golden brown and tender, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large serving bowl.
Pour the garlic butter over the potatoes, tossing gently to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Romano cheese over the potatoes, tossing again to combine. The heat from the potatoes will melt the cheese slightly for a delicious coating.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
