Baked Potato Wedges
Description
Baked Potato Wedges start with russet potatoes cut into eighths and coated evenly by tossing with olive oil and a blend of dry seasonings, including onion and garlic powders, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. The seasoning bag method ensures thorough coating for consistent flavor on every wedge.
The wedges are spread in a single layer on a foil-lined, greased baking sheet and baked at a high temperature until golden brown and tender. The Parmesan adds a savory crispy edge to the potato surface. Fresh parsley enhances the final presentation and adds a fresh note.
Variations can be made by substituting Romano or Asiago cheese for Parmesan, or replacing parsley with fresh herbs like chives or dill, allowing some customization to the flavor profile. These wedges work well as a side dish or snack.
