I grew up calling them mojos but whatever you call them potato wedges are a versatile and hearty side dish that pairs great with burgers, sloppy joes, fried chicken, BBQ and much more! Toss your favorite seasonings together, bake or fry and you’ve got a delicious side with little effort. Potatoes are pretty inexpensive so they can help stretch your food budget! Check out this recipe for an easy and flavorful baked version!

To create crispier potato wedges, soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before baking. Soaking potatoes in water draws out some of the starch. Make sure you dry the potato wedges thoroughly after soaking. Then season the wedges and bake. After they are baked, add the Parmesan cheese!
