Heavenly Potatoes

That's how Ryan would describe them atleast. And man, they sure do smell Heavenly!!

So I have several recipes piled up I have been wanting to post for a while, but haven't had a chance- but after making these last night I was motivated to share ASAP.

These potatoes are an easy, simple ingredients, side that will make any husband (or any husband like mine atleast =) rave. We have our second batch for our leftover pork- more on that to come- in the oven now.
Make these, you'll thank me.

Parmesan Potato Wedges

6 medium Russet potatoes ( 6 was too many to fit on my baking sheet- either plan on using 2 pans or only use four potatoes- the leftovers probably aren't the great as the fresh out of the oven, anyway)

1/3 cup butter, melted
1 clove garlic, minced (I used 2, well, jsut cause I love me some garlic)
1/4 cup GRATED Parmesan
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Preheat oven to 425. (I made them in my bottom oven that heats hot- HOT is good- you want them bad boys to brown and crisp)
Line 15x10 baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil).
Cut each potato into eights lengthwise- to make wedges.
In large bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients and add potatoes- tossing to coat.
Place wedges on lined baking sheet and bake uncovered about 30 minutes or until tender (and crispy if you like 'em like we do.
*I also put my oven racks in the very top and very bottom position and split the baking time on each rack so that they got nice and brown on bottom and top (but not burned!)

Remove and take a trip to potato paradise.
