Easy Side Recipe: Garlic and Herb Roasted Home Fries

Potatoes are fantastic accompaniment to almost any dish, it just depends how you decide to make them; here, we decided to go with the classic “wedge”. While you could slice your potatoes, throw ‘em in the oven and call it a day, adding our special seasoning makes this a side dish that’s impossible to turn down: cheese, paprika, garlic and rosemary give this finger food some tasty elegance. If you’re tired of French fries or mashed potatoes, or if you just want to switch things up before going back to your trusty favorites, make these—they’ll give your regular sides a run for their money!
