Garlic Cheese Potatoes

    1. Prepare Potatoes:
        • Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedge shapes.
        • Soak the potato wedges in hot water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 20 minutes.
        • Remove the water and pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel.

       

    2. Season Potatoes:
        • Place the potatoes in a plastic bag.
        • Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and shake to coat.

       

        • Add Parmesan cheese, corn starch (if using), oregano, red pepper powder, a little salt, and minced garlic to the bag.
        • Shake well to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasoning.
        • Add bread crumbs and shake gently so the seasoning sticks.
