Parmesan Truffle Potato Wedges
Description
Parmesan Truffle Potato Wedges start with large russet potatoes cut into evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform baking. Tossed in truffle oil and grated garlic before baking, the potatoes absorb the aromatic flavors. The wedges are seasoned with coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, enhancing the natural potato taste without overpowering it. Baking at 400°F yields tender interiors with pleasantly crisp edges. After baking, a second drizzle of truffle oil and a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan give the wedges a nutty, creamy finish that complements the earthy truffle aroma.
The preparation method highlights precise wedge cuts for attractive pointed edges and baking on a foil-lined sheet for easy cleanup. These wedges pair nicely with dipping sauces of choice, adding versatility to their use as a snack or accompaniment to main dishes. The garlic and truffle oil bring distinctive flavors that make these wedges stand out from typical potato sides.
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes scrubbed, large
- 2 tablespoons truffle oil , divided
- 2 cloves garlic , grated
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt coarse
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese , freshly grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up.
- Cut the potatoes into 8 slices by cutting in half, then half again and half again. To get perfect peaked edges, cut from the inside towards the skin. If you have a particularly skinny potato, it might only be 4-6 slices. Focus more on similar sizes.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes in 1 tablespoon of the truffle oil and grated garlic.
- Using tongs, transfer the potato wedges to your prepared baking sheet, discard any remaining oil/garlic.
- Season with pepper and salt.
- Bake the potato wedges for 35-40 minutes or until they are easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove and while still on the baking sheet, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon of truffle oil and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
