Most people who know me know that one of my life missions is to defend (and sing the nutritional and gastronomical praises of) the lowly potato. Yep. I just love potatoes. Any kind. Any way. All of them: big, little, sweet, Idaho, Russet, gold, red, purple… you get the picture. And these Crispy Parmesan Potato Wedges? Once again, I’m in POTATO LOVE.
These Crispy Parmesan Potato Wedges are…
- Lip-smacking good
- Crispy, crusty (in a good way), and cheesy (a favorite three-fer of mine)
- Nutritious – because duh? Potatoes have Vitamins A and C along with complex carbs. So yeah, don’t you potato-shunners forget that!
- Spicy (or not, depending on how you like them). Try new flavor combos and spice these any way you like!
- Extremely easy to prepare
What’s on your plate for the MSU b-ball game tonight? Mr. EN is doing some pre-game dancing around the kitchen because we’re having pulled pork (Thank you Primal Roots Farm!) Instant Pot black beans, homemade applesauce, and these Crispy Parmesan Potato Wedges. I hope you like them as much as he does!
