directions

  • Preheat oven to 375, oven racks in the middle.
  • In a medium bowl toss the potato wedges with the olive oil, a few big pinches of sea salt and five or six cranks of the pepper grinder. Arrange the potatoes cut side down on a baking sheet.
  • Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes, tossing the potatoes with a spatula half way through.
  • While the potatoes are baking, zest the lime and cut it into a few wedges.
  • When the potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the oven, taste, and adjust the seasoning. Add more salt and pepper to taste (don't skimp on the pepper!).
  • Serve in a big shallow bowl, or on a platter, drizzled with lime juice and dusted with the lime zest and Parmesan.

  1. I did not skimp on the pepper as suggested, but it really overwhelmed the lime and parm flavor. Next time, I'll skimp a little. Otherwise, a nice accompanyment to the main dish.
     
  2. These were a nice change! I followed the recipe exactly, and I think I would have like for the fries to turn out a bit crispier (this was even pre-lime juicing!), but the taste was very different and a bit hit with the friends. Thank you for posting, dicentra!
     
  3. MMM.. this turned really good. Thank you.
     
  4. Mmmmm, these were fantastic! We used baby yukon gold potatoes which I quartered, and only half the juice of 1 lime (but all the zest). They were in the oven for 35 min and were perfectly browned and lightly cripy. Once I drizzled with the lime juice they lost that crispyness, but it didn't matter to us...the taste was so good! We will be sharing this one with our friends and family this summer for sure. Thank you dicentra for posting this one!
     
  5. WOW!!! I was skeptical of lime juice and zest, parmesan and potatoes together, but what a wonderful combination! I cut my potatoes into french fry size, but otherwise followed recipe to the letter. These are going into the repertoire for burger and grilling season! Thanks for this keeper!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
