Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

It's been awhile since my last post, huh? We've had a lot going on lately and to be honest, I don't feel up to blogging once my day has caught up with me. I've been able to rest a lot this weekend though, so now I want to share something with you that I made this past week. These wedges were outrageously good. Yes, they were THAT good. I'm not usually too crazy about potato wedges unless they are nice and crispy, and these were! You won't believe how easy they are either. You can absolutely steam them by just covering them with some plastic wrap, I used a bowl from a set I got for our wedding that has these plastic lids that have a little vent that you can open or close to steam food - they are one of my favorite kitchen things that I own! They come in so handy in so many different ways. If you have a big bag of potatoes in your pantry (I always do) then use a few of them to whip these up! Also, you can make them to your liking. You can just make basic fries, or you can add a seasoning salt to them, you could infuse the oil with a multitude of herbs. Give 'em a shot!

Ingredients:

3 Russet Potatoes, washed and cut into wedges

2 Garlic Cloves, minced

1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

5 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions:

Pour olive oil into a small saucepan and add your garlic and heat up until just warm. Place your potatoes in a large microwave safe bowl and add 2 tablespoons of your oil. Cover with a lid that has a steam slot, or with plastic wrap. Microwave for 6 minutes, stopping at 3 to stir them around. Add your remaining olive oil and your parmesan cheese to the potatoes and mix well. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes in a pre-heated 450 degree oven, turning once mid-way through. Sprinkle with additional parmesan before serving, if desired.
