Crispy, Parmesan, Roasted, Potatoes – need I say more? There is no better combination that olive oil roasted potatoes that have a crunchy, salty exterior and soft, fluffy interior. Sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese, it’s the satisfying side dish my whole family loves. I serve it with my easy, homemade chimichurri sauce that I blitz in my food processor for a vibrant and fresh punch.
