Presentation

Side dish based on potatoes, Parmigiano Reggiano PDO, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper.

Ingredients
Serves 4

• 1000 g new potatoes (about 2.2 lb / 35 oz)
• 50 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano PDO (about 1.8 oz / ½ cup grated)
• 1 garlic clove
• 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (about 75 ml / 2.5 fl oz)
• Fresh rosemary, as needed (about 1–2 sprigs)
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Method

Carefully brush the potatoes under running water

Dry them and cut them into wedges.

Rub a baking dish vigorously with 1 clove of garlic cut in half.

Place the potato wedges in the baking dish

Salt and pepper, season with 4-5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and bake them in the oven at 180° C for 45 minutes, turning them occasionally and adding a few sprigs of rosemary, halfway through cooking.

Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with 50 g of grated Parmigiano Reggiano PDO and switch to grill mode for a couple of minutes, so that the cheese forms a crispy crust on the wedges, without burning.
