Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scrub the potatoes clean, then slice each potato into wedges. Aim for about 6-8 wedges per potato, depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Spread the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap for even cooking.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the potato wedges.
Top the wedges with halved cherry tomatoes and sliced Kalamata olives. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the wedges to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top for a tangy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your 'What Have You Done Italian Wedges' as a flavorful snack or side dish!
