Cooking the potatoes on a wire rack lets hot air circulate around them, so they get extra crisp.

  • Yield

    Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

3 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 ounces finely grated Parmesan
3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
