Potato Wedges Recipe (JoJo Potatoes)
These Potato Wedges, also known as JoJo Potatoes, bake russet potatoes cut into wedges tossed with olive oil, garlic and onion granules, paprika, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Baking at a high temperature with a flip halfway through creates a crispy exterior and tender interior. After baking, melted butter and fresh parsley add richness and freshness to the wedges. This preparation is practical when serving a crispy, flavorful side dish that offers a balance of savory spices and cheese.

Notes
- Potato wedges are best eaten within an hour of baking for optimal crispness and flavor.
- If needed, keep them warm covered in foil in a low-temperature oven to preserve texture.
- Cut the potatoes evenly to ensure uniform baking and tenderness throughout.
- Use fresh parsley as garnish right before serving to maintain its color and freshness.
