Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Rinse and pat potatoes dry. Cut in wedges and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat well.
3. In a small bowl whisk together parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle potato wedges with the cheese and seasoning mixture and toss to coat well.
4. Place potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes until fork-tender and golden.
5. In the meantime, toss cheddar cheese and cornstarch in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour evaporated milk over and cook in microwave on high for 1 minute. Whisk and continue to heat in 30-second increments, whisking in between, until cheese is melted and smooth – about 2 minutes total. Stir in hot sauce if using, and stir to combine. Add tomato, red onion and jalapeño and set aside.
6. When potatoes are done, remove from oven, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Transfer to a serving platter and serve along with the cheese dip. Enjoy!
