Tips & Variations

- You can substitute Italian seasoning with a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme for a fresher herb flavor.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a subtle smoky or spicy kick.
- Use grated pecorino romano cheese instead of parmesan for a sharper taste.
Storage
Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it may make the wedges soggy.

FAQs
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
