Now you can transfer the marinade into a large zip lock bag , add the potatoes and toss well or just put the potatoes into the bowl with spices and mix well with your hands to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes to absorb all the flavors.

Notes
*Parmesan cheese is made from cow's milk, Pecorino is sheep’s milk cheese. Pecorino is saltier and tangy than Parmesan cheese & I should say it goes much better with potato wedges.
* The potatoes won't stick & will be crispy
