Instructions in Detail:
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Start by scrubbing the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with paper towels.
-
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s adequately heated for baking the potato wedges.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the potatoes (either peeled or unpeeled, depending on your preference), grated Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise. Gently mix them together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the cheese and mayo mixture.
-
Prepare the Pie Plate: Take a 9-inch pie plate and brush it lightly with additional mayonnaise. This prevents the potato mixture from sticking to the plate during baking.
-
Arrange the Mixture: Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared pie plate, spreading it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
-
Bake the Potato Wedges: Place the filled pie plate in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
Cover and Continue Baking: After 45 minutes, carefully cover the pie plate with aluminum foil to prevent the potatoes from over-browning. Return the plate to the oven and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Serve: Once the potato wedges are cooked to perfection, remove the pie plate from the oven. Immediately invert it onto a serving plate to release the wedges. Cut the wedges into portions and serve hot alongside your favorite main dishes.
Serving Suggestions:
- These Parmesan potato crisp wedges are excellent as a side dish for grilled meats, roasted chicken, or baked fish.
- Pair them with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and freshness.
Recipe Notes:
- For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder, dried herbs, or paprika to the potato mixture before baking.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by using different types of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, to suit your taste preferences.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave until warmed through before serving.
