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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch in diameter.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are golden brown and tender, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large serving bowl.

Step 7

Pour the garlic butter over the potatoes, tossing gently to coat them evenly.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
