Ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes russets or Yukon Gold, washed
• ¼ cup butter unsalted
• 1¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• Penzey’s Sandwich Sprinkles or garlic powder
• Dried parsley or favorite herb
• Olive oil to brush potatoes

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place butter in an 11x15 inch jelly roll pan and place in oven until butter melts. Remove from oven as soon as butter has melted.
• Halve each potato, lengthwise, and cut each half into 3 equal wedges. Dry potato wedges with a paper towel.
• Sprinkle melted butter evenly and liberally with grated Parmesan, then sprinkle with pepper, seasonings and herbs. Press the cheese onto the butter.
• Press each potato wedge, flesh-side down, firmly onto the Parmesan.
• Lightly brush the exposed section of potato with olive oil.
• Very lightly season the potatoes with coarse salt & freshly ground pepper and sprinkle with crushed herbs.
• Place in preheated oven and bake 40-50 minutes.
• *If needed to crisp the Parmesan crust, turn the heat up to 400 for the last 5-10 minutes.
• **Transfer potatoes to a cooling rack and allow to cool at least 7 FULL MINUTES - this allows the cheese crust to stick to the potatoes.
• Serve with your favorite dip. Buffalo, sour cream or Ranch dips work well.
• Enjoy!
