A Rustic Potato Recipe From the Cookbook
Michael was flipping through an old cookbook from Point Township Nazarene Church when he came across this Parmesan potato recipe. At the time, I was already planning supper and trying to decide how I wanted to cook the potatoes. I had been thinking about frying them, but after reading through the recipe, I decided to bake them instead — and I’m glad I did.
Why Oven-Baked Parmesan Potatoes Are a Winner
These oven-baked Parmesan potatoes turned out crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. They remind me of classic baked potato wedges but with a savory Parmesan coating that makes them even better. Sometimes the simplest recipes are the ones that surprise you the most.
A Note on the Cooking Process
I didn’t realize Michael was planning to photograph the process, so the potatoes were already washed, cut, and coated before any pictures were taken. Next time I make these crispy Parmesan potato wedges, we’ll capture the full step-by-step process to share.
This recipe is simple, hearty, and a great reminder that good recipes can still be found in well-loved community cookbooks.
