Crispy Asiago Potato Wedges: Golden, Cheesy, Irresistible
There’s something unbeatable about potato wedges that are perfectly crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and blanketed in nutty, melted Asiago cheese. These aren’t your average fries — they’re bold, garlicky, and basically disappear the second they hit the table. Whether you’re serving them with burgers, dips, or just eating them straight off the tray (no judgment), they’re guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
The secret to next-level wedges? A generous shower of freshly shredded Asiago that clings to every ridge. A quick crank with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater gives you light, feathery cheese in seconds — no scraped knuckles, just pure golden magic.
🥔Ingredients (Serves 4–6 as a side)
4 large russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
1½ cups freshly shredded Asiago cheese
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish, ranch or garlic aioli for dipping
🔥Step-by-Step: Crispy Asiago Wedges
Prep the Potatoes
Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 thick wedges. Soak in cold water (optional) and pat completely dry.
Season & Oil
Toss wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper — make sure every piece is coated.
First Bake for Fluffy Centers
Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet. Bake at 425°F until fork-tender and just starting to turn golden.
Shred the Asiago Magic
While the wedges are still hot from the first bake, grab your cheese shredder hand crank. Lock it down with the suction base, pop in the coarse or fine shred blade, and crank a big pile of fluffy Asiago snow in seconds — no scraped knuckles, just perfect light shreds ready to melt.
Cheese It & Crisp It
Shower the hot wedges generously with the fresh shredded Asiago. Slide back into the oven (or switch to broil) for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly, lacy, and turning golden at the edges.
Serve Immediately
Let cool 2 minutes so the cheese sets into crispy frico bits. Garnish with parsley and dive in with your favorite dip!
