Helpful Tips:

For extra crispy potato wedges, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking.
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even browning.
Experiment with different seasonings like paprika or chili powder for a spicy kick.

Store any leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Expert Tips for the Best Results:

Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best melting and flavor.
For a healthier option, use a light olive oil spray instead of drizzling with olive oil.
