  Categories: Potatoes
       Yield: 6 Servings
  
       5 lg Idaho potatoes,
            - (about 10 oz each)
   2 1/2 tb Light olive oil,
            - (not extra-virgin)
     1/3 c  Parmigiano Reggiano
            - cheese; freshly grated
       3 lg Garlic cloves;
            - finely minced
     1/4 ts 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.
