Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Start by thoroughly washing the potatoes to remove any dirt or debris.
- Once cleaned, cut the potatoes into wedges. You can adjust the size according to your preference, but aim for evenly-sized pieces for consistent cooking.
-
-
Mix the Seasonings:
- In a small bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oil. Mix everything well until you have a uniform paste-like mixture.
-
Coat the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) to ensure it’s nice and hot for baking.
- Place the potato wedges skin side down in a shallow baking pan. This positioning helps them crisp up nicely.
- Using a brush or spoon, generously coat the potatoes with the seasoned mixture, making sure each wedge is thoroughly covered.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Pop the pan into the preheated oven and let the magic happen. Bake the potato wedges for approximately 45 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
- Keep an eye on them towards the end of the cooking time to prevent any burning. You can also test for doneness by piercing the potatoes with a fork; they should be soft and tender.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the potato wedges from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Serve these delicious Baked Potato Wedges alongside your favorite main dishes. They pair wonderfully with classics like meatloaf, grilled chicken, or even as a tasty snack on their own.
- Garnish with some fresh herbs or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for an extra pop of flavor, if desired.
These Baked Potato Wedges are not only a crowd-pleaser but also a healthier alternative to traditional fried potatoes. Packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned, they’ll quickly become a staple in your recipe repertoire. Enjoy!
