Parmesan Wedges
These potato wedges are coated in a parmesan crumb for extra flavour and crispiness. Serve with my pesto mayo for a perfect pairing.
Equipment
- Extra large oven tray + baking paper
- Scales or cup measures
- Food chopper, processor or blender
- Small mixing bowl + spoon (optional, for the pesto mayo)
Ingredients
- 850 g medium-size potatoes 4-5 potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 slice white bread or ½ cup shop-bought breadcrumbs
- 50 g grated parmesan extra optional for sprinkling once cooked
- Salt & black pepper
FOR THE PESTO MAYO (OPTIONAL)
- 20 g pesto
- 120 g mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220ºc/200ºc fan/425ºf/gas mark 7 and line an extra large oven tray/sheet pan (or two smaller) with baking paper.
- Tear up the bread and add to your mini chopper (or food processor) and add in the grated parmesan. Whizz until you have fine breadcrumbs.
- Slice your potatoes in half lengthways and then each half into approx 1cm slices.
- Add them to your baking tray. Toss well with your hands to coat them throughly.
- Then add ⅔ the parmesan crumb and toss well. Leaving a small gap in between each wedge to get maximum crispiness. Sprinkle over the rest of the parmesan crumb.
- Transfer to the top of the oven and bake for around 30 minutes, until the crumb and the edges of the wedges have gone deep golden brown and crispy.
FOR THE PESTO MAYO (optional)
- Add the pesto and mayo to a bowl and stir until well combined.
Baby & Toddler
Because of the salt it’s best to hold back a few wedges and toss them separately in just a drop of oil. You can sprinkle them with a little of the parmesan crumb if you like, particularly if they are over 12 months. Then add them to a corner of the oven tray/sheet pan. Try to pick out the thinner wedges for them or cut down thicker ones for them once cooked.
