Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix oil, salt, paprika, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and pepper in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Shake the mixture to coat the potato wedges evenly.
- Place the coated potato wedges skin down on a baking pan.
- Pour any remaining mixture over the potatoes.
- Bake uncovered in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, consider soaking the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before coating them. You can substitute the oil with melted butter for a richer flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the mixture or use a seasoned salt blend instead of plain salt for added depth. These potatoes are also great paired with the Nut And Lentil Roast for a hearty meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious potatoes alongside grilled steak for a perfect meal pairing. They also complement a fresh garden salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded dinner. For a fun twist, try serving them with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or a tangy barbecue sauce. They’re a standout side dish for any occasion, including summer barbecues.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until heated through and crisp again. Avoid microwaving, as they may become soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, for different textures and flavors. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness and type of potato you choose.
Is it necessary to leave the skins on the potatoes?
While the recipe calls for unpeeled potatoes for added texture and nutrients, you can peel them if you prefer. Keeping the skin on enhances the flavor and provides a rustic feel, but peeled potatoes will still yield delicious results.
Can I make these potatoes in advance?
It’s best to enjoy these potatoes fresh out of the oven for optimal crispiness. However, you can prepare the seasoning mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just coat and bake the potatoes when you're ready to serve. This method works well for meal prep.
