Use this recipe as a side to just about anything. Burgers, chicken, meatloaf, etc. This would be a great recipe to serve on game day. When looking for a potato side dish, and don't feel like ordinary French fries, try potato wedges. They're thick slices of potatoes that are soft and fluffy inside, and crispy on the edges. Seasoned with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper, there's a slight kick. Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese melt on top for an extra touch of decadence. These potato wedges are a tasty general side dish for steak, chicken, or burgers. Or, dip in ketchup for a nice snack.

How To Make potato wedges
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Scrub potatoes well and peel, if you prefer. (I like to leave the skins on the potatoes.) Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into wedges.
Step 2
Boil potato wedges for about 5 minutes in salted water, then drain.
Step 3
Let them sit on paper towels for a few minutes.
Step 4
Add potatoes to a bowl. Add oil.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spices and herbs. Gently mix to distribute on the potatoes.
Step 6
Spread potato wedges in a single layer on a lightly greased (or sprayed) baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Step 7
Sprinkle wedges with Parmesan and cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Bake at 425 degrees for another 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and cheeses are melted. Serve immediately.
