Roasted Potato Wedges with Rosemary

Roasted potatoes are always a favourite and simple dish to make. US potatoes are the best for this recipe. Once roasted, the potato wedges should have a crispy crust and dark golden exterior. Omit the chilli flakes if you want and try coarsely ground black pepper. Parmesan cheese can be substituted with any other type of cheese. If you are using grated cheddar cheese, sprinkle on the potato wedges as soon as they are out of the oven. Toss well and watch the cheese melting on the wedges. Instead of rosemary, try curry leaves………..they too make for sensational potato wedges!
