Recipe type: Side
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 6 medium russet potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp pesto
  • 3 tsp (3 cloves) minced garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan
  • Kosher salt, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
  1. Place potato wedges into a bowl of water, making sure each wedge is covered. Soak for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat oven to 475 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Drain potatoes and pat dry. I laid them on half of a bath-side towel and patted them dry with the other half.
  4. Combine olive oil, pesto, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add potato wedges and toss to combine, making sure each wedge is coated with pesto mixture. Cover baking sheet with foil.
  5. Bake, covered, in preheated oven for 7 minutes. Remove foil, flip wedges, and cook for an additional 12-14 minutes (until wedges are almost fork-tender).
  6. Sprinkle wedges with Parmesan and continue cooking until cheese is melted and starts to get crispy, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Kosher salt (if desired) and serve.
