Barbecue parmesan potato wedges make a great side dish to accompany any barbecued meat from the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. They’re easy to make, darned tasty, and a good alternative to regular potatoes.
These potato wedges are adapted from a video recipe on Buzzfeed’s Tasty Facebook feed.
Prepare The Wedges and Rub
Wash 3 large russet potatoes and pat dry. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 wedges. That’s 8 wedges per potato, 24 wedges total.
