Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub the potatoes well, pat them dry, and cut them into wedges of even size.
- In a large bowl combine olive oil, dried thyme, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated in the seasoned oil.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down, leaving a little space between pieces.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the potatoes once halfway through, until they are golden, crisp on the edges, and tender inside.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and sprinkle the hot potatoes evenly with the shredded cheese.
- Return to the oven for 5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and lightly browned in spots.
- Take the potatoes out, let them sit for 2 to 3 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- You can peel older potatoes if the skin is thick, but leave the skin on new potatoes for extra flavor and texture.
- Use a baking sheet large enough so the potatoes do not overlap, otherwise they will steam instead of roast and will not crisp.
