Appetizers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potato Wedges

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake the Wedges

    Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    Add Parmesan

    In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and return to the oven to melt.
