What’s in it
Russet potatoes are the show’s star because they make the base strong and the inside creamy.
Olive oil makes things crisp and adds a light flavor.
Garlic Powder and Italian Seasoning: Add a taste with herbs and spices that smell good.
Parmesan cheese: It gives it a salty, umami-rich finish.
Ingredient Substitutions
For a different taste, switch out the brown potatoes for sweet potatoes.
To avoid cheese, use nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan.
Try using different herbs, like pepper or rosemary, to get different tastes.
Instructions
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease or line a big baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make sure the potatoes are clean and dry. Cut them into wedges so they are all the same size so they cook evenly.
Baking
Put the potato wedges in a big bowl and coat them with olive oil.
Mix salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
Cover all the wedges with the pepper mix by spreading it out evenly.
Shred the Parmesan cheese and toss it in again.
Spread the wedges on the baking sheet so they are all in one layer, skin side down.
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until golden brown and soft to the fork.
Final Touches
Please remove it from the oven and sprinkle it with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
Serve hot with the sauce of your choice.
Pro Tips for Perfect Wedges
When you cut evenly, you get wedges that cook evenly every time.
Don’t Pack Too Close Together: Leave room between the wedges on the baking sheet for the best crispiness.
Flip Halfway: Flip them halfway through baking to get golden wedges.
Serving Suggestions
Ideas for Pairing: These wedges go well with burgers, grilled chicken, or a fresh green salad.
Ranch, blue cheese, garlic aioli, or hot ketchup are great options for dipping.
Storage and Reheating
Refrigeration: Leftovers can be kept for up to three days in a container without air.
Reheating: Heat it in an oven set to 375°F for 10 minutes to regain the crispiness.
Freezing: It’s not a good idea because it changes the color.
Recipe Variations
For spicy wedges, season with cayenne pepper or red chili flakes.
More cheese can be added to Cheesy Delight by shredding mozzarella.
Herb Infusion: For a pleasant twist, add fresh thyme or rosemary.
Some issues you may face :
Soggy Wedges: Ensure the potatoes are dry before adding oil and seasonings.
Uneven Cooking: Cut the wedges into even pieces, and don’t put too many on the baking sheet at once.
