Family Favorites...Parmesan Potato Wedges

We really enjoyed these delicious oven-fried potatoes from the "Better Homes & Gardens Best Comfort Food” for lunch today and it occurred to me that if your husband is willing to grill, you could open a jar of Freezer Cole Slaw and pop these easy potatoes in the oven and your job would be done!  No muss, no fuss. 

If you use foil, use the “no-stick” kind.  I melted the butter right in the bowl in the microwave; I think you could melt the butter and make the coating right in the pan, then add the potatoes and toss – save washing a bowl.

  Parmesan Potato Wedges

      1/3  cup  Butter -- melted

  1         teaspoon  Garlic -- minced

     1/4   cup  Parmesan Cheese -- grated

     1/2   teaspoon  Italian Seasoning

     1/4   teaspoon  Salt

     1/8   teaspoon  Pepper

  6         Medium  Baking Potatos -- 2 pounds

Preheat oven to 425°.  Lina a 15 x 10 x 1" baking pan with parchment paper or foil; set aside.  Cut each potato lengthwise into eight wedges.

In a large bowl, stir together butter, garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.  Add potato wedges and toss to throughly coat the wedges.  Place the wedges on the prepared baking pan.

Bake, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until tender.
