How to make Baked Potato Wedges with Cheese
Step 1: Prepare The Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2: Prepare The Potatoes
Wash the potatoes and cut them into wedges.
Place the wedges in a large bowl and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the potato wedges and toss to coat evenly.
Step 3: Bake Until Golden And Serve
Place the potato wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potato wedges cool for a few minutes.
I love to add toppings such as chopped crispy pan-fried lunch meat, sliced green onions, chopped fresh herbs, or sour cream to take them to the next level.
How to store Baked Potato Wedges with Cheese
