Rinse and scrub the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a pot and fill with water to barely covering the potatoes. Bring water to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes. Let the potatoes cool.

Meanwhile, as the potatoes are cooling mix the seasoning together. In a bowl mix the parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, paprika, dry mustard, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper. 

Add the oil to a clean sheet pan and spread evenly. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 6-8 wedges. Dredge each wedge and press gently for the seasoning mixture to adhere to the potato. Add the bread crumb mixture to a shallow dish does help make this easier with the delicate potatoe wedges. Place each wedge on the sheet pan with skin side down. Repeat for each wedge. 

Place in oven and cook for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.
