I’d say in general, I’m more of a sweet potato fan.
Baked, fried, mashed…I like ‘em every way possible. Both Adam and my mom are major regular potato people. I think my mom’s favorite food on earth is just a plain baked potato. And Adam? He likes his with a side of steak. 
Over Christmas, Adam’s mom made these fabulous Italian roasted potato wedges and guys? I think they might be my new favorite side dish. Seriously. They are like French fries but thick, roasted wedges that are perfectly seasoned and covered with Parmesan cheese. They are so good and also easy! I might even like them better than sweet potato fries and that’s saying a whole lot right there.
You know those small packets of Italian seasoning next to the salad dressing at the grocery store? That’s what we’re using in this recipe. I think there are a few different brands, but the specific one I used for this was “Good Seasons” brand. Alternatively, you could make your own Italian seasoning with spices and herbs at home, but I happen to love the flavor and convenience of the packets.
After roasting the heavily seasoned taters, they are covered in freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
And then dipped in ketchup and hot sauce.
Amen.
Get the recipe over at PBS Food and enjoy! This is definitely a side dish that everyone will gobble up.

I roast potato wedges all the time with salt and pepper. Why didn’t I think of using the italian dressing mix? Can’t wait to try this. Thanks!
indeed, why didn’t I think of using italian dressing mix. Will do that tonight.
i cannot wait to try this recipe! yum.
i’ve been trying to get better with using potatoes for dinner…so i love recipes like this!
Sounds delicious! Next time my boyfriend makes burgers I think I’ll add these to the menu. Also, I love that you take the time to write different introductions to the recipes on your blog and the PBS blog. I enjoy reading both!
yum yum yum
I can’t say no to potatoes roasted like this…dangerous!!! Yum.
yum, these look tasty. I might have a packet or two of these sitting around and Now I have an idea of what to use them for
I like convenience too!
Mmmm- fries! I don’t know if I could pick a favourite- wedge, skinny, sweet potato, or normal. They’re all delicious!
Brilliant idea to use the dressing packet! I love thick cut fries!
I use good seasons on fresh green beans and in pasta salad – love that stuff! Definitely going to try this out also!
These look and sound absolutely amazing! I love parm + potatoes – yum!
I definitely love fat-cut or steak-cut fries more than little skinny fries – I like my fries to still have some potato in em! Thanks for the recipe!
I LOVE POTATO WEDGES! I can’t help myself. I especially love them when you soak them in water first and it makes them extra fluffy on the inside and crispier on the outside. I had never thought to put Italian seasonings on them. I know what is for dinner tonight. Thank you!
Great Idea!
Yum! I love sweet potatoes, too, but it would be pretty hard to say no to a batch of these right here. Have a great weekend!
Oh my gosh. These look absolutely amazing.
I think these would beat out sweet potatoes for me too!
Heading over there now! These need to make an appearance on my weekend menu!
easy, comforting and delicious! can’t wait to make these!
Mmm these sound so tasty!!
This makes me smile. It’s is almost exactly how my grandfather on the Italian side of my family makes oven fries! The only difference is that he tosses the potato wedges with fresh rosemary instead of Italian seasoning. Ahhh, looking at your pictures reminds me of every visit he’s ever made to our house. He usually makes them with baby-back BBQed and baked ribs. Thanks for sharing!
I love all potatoes — sweet, regular, it doesn’t matter. They are all delicious to me! Will definitely be trying this in the near future!
We love potatoes! These look great!
This looks amazing!!! I love roasted potatoes made any way!
Amen! Amen! I could eat a whole plate of these yummies!
Jenna,
These look delicious!!! Another way to eat the beloved potatoes,
Just read yesterday’s post and comments….. Wow!!!! I think of John 3. 19 -21.
We all want to hold on to the control of our own lives so badly that we will defend it vehemently. If only everyone knew how much our Lord wants ALL of us to come to Him.
You are doing an awesome job….. I love your blog. Every part of it
I love that I can see the individual pieces of Parm cheese! So delicate and pretty!
I make garlic parmesan fries all the time, but never with the salad dressing mix. Thanks for the tip!
These. Look. UNREAL. Regular potatoes – in any shape, size, or form – are my absolute hands-down favorite food of all time. I’m about to hyperventilate, these look too good.
I prefer sweet potatoes too but my husband doesn’t like them. That is why it is essential to find recipes like this…ones we would both enjoy. These look delicious. I could have a plateful for dinner.
Time & temp?
Oh Yea! I too prefer sweet potatoes-until I saw these- YUM!
Wow, totally craving those! I love that you mix hot sauce with ketchup, SO much better!

Something weird going on with your home page – it says ‘coming soon: a fast, secure and stable Wordpress page, Zippykid’. Maybe it’s an official update, but I thought it odd that all the pages except the home page work
Yum! We were playing a “what if” kind of a game awhile ago and one question was “what is one food you couldn’t live without?” I expanded it to 3 foods: pizza, chocolate, and potatoes. Roasted potatoes is the best variety, too!
Jenna,
Thank you for recommending “The Language of Flowers.” I just finished it and absolutely loved it. It was beautiful writing, and I got so caught up in the characters, my heart just hurt for Victoria. Thank you, thank you!
For something you might enjoy, I recently read “The Postmistress” which is a WWII story about women and journalism and the stories we can’t tell. Also beautiful.
I’m with you – I’m a die-hard sweet potato fan; but these look quite delicious! I haven’t had potato wedges in ages!
These sound amazing! They absolutely look like something that would be found as a side dish in a restaurant…or better??
I love how simple they are to make, too!
these look so so good
nice blog
I’m from Ireland and we don’t have ready-made seasoning packets here, what herbs would you suggest I use instead?
I’d use a mix of oregano, basil, thyme, salt, pepper and a little pinch of red pepper flakes
Great, thanks a mil! Will definitely try this sometime soon, I made something similar last weekend with peri-peri salt from Nandos and it worked really well, I really want to try it with different flavours! I’ve never seen red pepper flakes here either (there’s a lot of differences between the US and Europe!) so I may try a bit of cayenne pepper.
I’m a sweet potato gal as well, but these are right up my alley. I’m diggin’ this recipe.
Better than sweet potato fries?! Now I have to try these. These will be perfect for all those summer dinners with grilled chicken and steak.
Just made these for dinner and my family devoured them! Easy and delicious–thanks!
I’ve never met a potato recipe I didn’t like… and I think it’s pretty safe to say I will LOVE these! This recipe is golden!
