Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato wedges and toss to coat evenly.
Place the seasoned potato wedges on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the tuna mixture. Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a medium-sized bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced celery, and sliced scallions, and stir until well combined.
Once the potato wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly over the baked potato wedges. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Return the potato wedges to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Tuna Melt Potato Wedges!
