Roasted Romano Red Potatoes
Roasted Romano Red Potatoes
Romano cheese is one of the world’s oldest cheeses. This traditional Italian sheep’s milk cheese, named after the city of Rome, is slightly sharper, saltier and dryer than Parmesan. There are different types of Romano cheese; my Romano of choice is pecorino. Roasted Romano red potatoes are incredibly simple to prepare, yet they make an elegant accompaniment to meat, chicken, and fish. — Kerry Dunnington, Tasting the Seasons.
