Parmesan potato wedges FAQ:
Bake the Parmesan potato wedges in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes. Remember to turn the wedges halfway through for even cooking.
The potato wedges are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. You can check doneness by piercing a wedge with a fork.
Yes, you can substitute other hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano for a similar flavor. For a different taste, try cheddar or gouda, but keep in mind this may change the overall flavor profile.
Store any leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes to regain crispiness.
A standard baking sheet (about 18x13 inches) should work well for this recipe. Ensure the wedges are arranged in a single layer to allow for proper cooking and crisping.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Opt for starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the crispiest wedges.
- Cut evenly: Slice your potatoes into even-sized wedges to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Preheat the baking sheet: Place the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats. This helps to start the crisping process as soon as the wedges hit the surface.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer with some space between them. Overcrowding can result in soggy wedges.
- Flip halfway through: Turn the potato wedges halfway through baking to ensure they get crispy on all sides.
- Fresh Parmesan is key: Using freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-grated will give you a better texture and more intense flavor.
- Garnish right before serving: Add chopped fresh parsley right before serving to maintain its bright, fresh flavor.
