Potato Wedges
By
These oven fries are a deeply satisfying and nostalgic side dish that comes together with ease any night of the week Seasoning the wedges with spices, grated Parmesan and garlic, and roasting them with more freshly grated cheese on top, ensures plenty of flavor in every bite Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water before baking releases extra starch which leads to crispier outsides and creamier insides
Yield
6
Time
65 minutes
Ingredients
6 medium russet potatoes (about 3 pounds), scrubbed
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 4 ounces), plus more for serving
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Desired dipping sauce or condiment, for serving
Instructions
Step 1
Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
Step 2
Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Slice each half in half lengthwise. Then slice each quarter in half lengthwise, so that you have 8 wedges total. Repeat for each potato. Immerse your wedges in a bowl filled with cold water for at least 15 minutes to release extra starch.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, paprika, onion powder, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1½ teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
Step 4
Drain the potato wedges, rinse them with water and then pat each wedge with a clean towel until dry. Add the potatoes to the bowl with seasonings and toss with your hands until all the wedges are coated. Arrange on two sheet pans so that none of the wedges are touching each other and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup Parmesan.
Step 5
Place the sheet pans on the top and center oven racks and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip all the wedges over. Return the pans to the oven, switching racks, and continue baking for 15 minutes more, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Arrange potatoes on a single sheet pan or on a platter and season with more salt and pepper, to taste. Top with chopped parsley and more Parmesan and serve hot alongside your favorite dipping sauce or condiment.
