My son was coming over for dinner on Sunday, and he is definitely a meat and potatoes kinda guy! I needed something just as delicious to serve with my Santa Maria-Style Tri-Tip, and these amazing potato wedges were created.

What you will need

Potatoes: Russet or Idaho potatoes are the best to use in this recipe. They get nice and crispy on the outside while remaining light and fluffy on the inside. Leaving the skin on makes them easier to eat, and they are less likely to break from the weight of the toppings.

Olive Oil: helps to make the potato wedges crispy, and keeps the seasoning from sliding off the wedges.

Garlic: fresh, minced garlic adds a bold blast of flavor to these humble potatoes.

Herbs de Provence: a delicious combination of chervil, basil, rosemary, tarragon, garlic, lavender, marjoram, savory, thyme and parsley. This is my favorite, but feel substitute your favorite combination of herbs.

Parmesan Cheese: freshly grated cheese will have the best taste and will melt better in this recipe. Packaged grated cheese contains fillers that can cause the cheese to become clumpy, rather than melty and delicious.

Bacon: adds a salty, crunchy layer of flavor. You can leave it out if you wish, but I highly suggest that you give it a try!

Recipe Notes & Tips

Herb de Provence is my go to seasoning, but oregano, basil, or thyme would be delicious as well.
All ovens are different so cooking times may vary.
Potato size can also affect cooking time so keep an eye on them and don’t be surprised if they take more or less time.
To create the wedges: cut each potato in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Then cut each section in half lengthwise, and cut that section in half until you have 8 wedges.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven, air fryer, or microwave before serving.
