- Cheese powder

- Olive oil (or butter)2 tbsp
- Sugar0.5 tbsp
- Salt1 tsp

- Scrub them clean with a scouring pad and cut lengthwise into 8 wedges; you can peel them if you dislike the skins.
- You can use melted butter instead of olive oil, and if you leave out the garlic, finely minced onion also tastes delicious.
- Parmesan cheese powder is typically used for potato wedges, but if you do not have any, you can freeze pizza cheese and grind it in a food processor.
Steps
1. Scrub two medium-sized potatoes clean with a scouring pad and cut them lengthwise into 8 wedges.
(You can peel the skin if you dislike it.)
2. Rinse in water to remove surface starch, then microwave for 3-4 minutes to par-cook.
(You can also blanch them in boiling water for about 4 minutes.)
Add all the seasonings to the par-cooked potatoes and toss evenly.
(To suit your taste, you may use melted butter instead of olive oil, or omit the garlic and add finely minced onion, which is also delicious.)
3. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet.
4. I froze pizza cheese in the freezer and ground it in a food processor. Parmesan cheese powder is typically used for potato wedges, but the supermarket where I live did not have parmesan cheese powder.
Sprinkle the cheese powder on top at the end and bake at 210°C for 15-20 minutes.
Ppunwife's tips
- If it feels too plain to eat on its own, dip it in ketchup or your favorite sauce.
