Cheesy Rosemary Jo-Jos (Potato Wedges)

Cheesy Rosemary Jo-Jos (Potato Wedges)

Serves 4
These easy-to-roast Jo-Jo potatoes get their addictive crunch from a cheesy, crumb and rosemary topping.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes (scrubbed)
  • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided use)
  • Rosemary Spice Seasoning:
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • To serve:
  • Deli-prepared dips or sriracha mayonnaise

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  2. Halve potatoes lengthwise. Place halves, cut sides down, on board. Slice lengthwise into 1/3- to 1/2-inch wedges. Toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil (For crispier potatoes, see Cook's Tips.)
  3. Combine ingredients for seasoning in a small bowl.
  4. Dredge potatoes in seasoning and arrange in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are sizzling and golden brown. To promote more crisping, use a spatula to turn wedges over halfway through. Serve warm with dip of choice.

Cook Tips

To streamline last-minute prep, cut potatoes ahead of time and place in a bowl of cold water. Chill. Drain well before using.

For crispier potatoes: Place potatoes in a saucepan with 1 1/2 quarts water and 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Drain. Pat wedges dry on a towel.
