Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a greased baking sheet or foil pan—avoid overcrowding so they crisp properly.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until:
✔ The edges are golden
✔ The centers are buttery soft
✔ They smell incredible
4. Add the Cheese
Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly.
5. Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Your dish should now look as irresistible as the picture above—golden potatoes dripping with melty cheddar!
