Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 large Idaho potatoes -- (about 10 oz each)
2 1/2 tablespoons Light olive oil -- (not extra-virgin)
1/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano -- cheese; freshly grat
3 large Garlic cloves -- finely minced
1/4 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Salt

1. Peel potatoes, quarter lengthwise and place in cold water to cover. Drain
potatoes and blot dry with paper towels.

2. Heat oil in shallow roasting pan over medium high heat. When hot, add
potatoes in single layer without crowding them too much. Brown, turn and brown
other sides, about 9 minutes total. Remove from heat. Can be made several
hours in advance up to this point and kept at room temperature.

3. To finish, heat oven to 425 degrees; set rack in middle of oven. Place
potatoes in pan in hot oven.
Bake until tender, about 25 minutes. Use tongs to turn once midway. Just before
removing, toss with garlic, red pepper and cheese. Return to oven for a few
minutes until cheese melts and garlic is fragrant.
