📜 A Little History
Potatoes originated in South America and were brought to Europe in the 16th century. Over time, they became a staple across the world due to their versatility and affordability.
Parmesan cheese comes from Italy — specifically , where the famous Parmigiano-Reggiano was first produced. Combining roasted potatoes with Parmesan is a modern twist on traditional European roasting methods, bringing together rustic comfort and Italian flavor.
🛒 Ingredients
4 large potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color & flavor)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon dried parsley (or fresh chopped parsley for garnish)
👩🍳 Preparation Method
1️⃣ Preheat
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2️⃣ Season the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl:
Add olive oil
Mix in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper
Toss the potato wedges until evenly coated.
3️⃣ Add the Parmesan
Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the potatoes and mix well so every wedge gets a cheesy coating.
4️⃣ Arrange for Crispiness
Place the wedges skin-side down on the baking tray. Make sure they are not overlapping — space is the secret to crispiness!

Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
6️⃣ Final Touch
Remove from oven, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.
