- Arrange the coated wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet for optimal crispiness.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the potato wedges.

Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a different flavor profile and added nutrition. You can also swap out the Parmesan cheese for another type of cheese like cheddar or mozzarella if you prefer.
- Optional Variations: For a kick of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix. You can also experiment with herbs like rosemary or thyme for an herby twist.
- Storage and Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or an air fryer to restore their crispiness.
