Potato Chips vs. Parmesan & Herb Potatoes

For 40 or 50 more calories than 1-ounce of potato chips you get nearly 3-ounces of Parmesan & Herb potatoes. An equivalent amount of potato chips has over 400 calories and 400 mg of sodium.

Serving Suggestion

Parmesan & Herb Roasted Potatoes can be served with any food you would normally serve mashed, baked, or fried potatoes from hamburgers and sandwiches to holiday dinners.

Cook’s Tip:

I used small red potatoes about 2-inches (5 cm) long cut into 4 wedges. Cut larger potatoes, like russet, into 6 or more wedges for uniform baking. The thicker the wedge, the longer the bake time.

Substitutions

One teaspoon of Italian seasoning can be substituted for the herbs.

Romano cheese can be substituted for all or part of the parmesan cheese.
