Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Celery, finely diced
• 2 stalks Scallions, sliced
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into thick wedges.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato wedges and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Place the seasoned potato wedges on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the tuna mixture. Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a medium-sized bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, diced celery, and sliced scallions, and stir until well combined.

Step 6

Once the potato wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Spoon the tuna mixture evenly over the baked potato wedges. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.

Step 8

Return the potato wedges to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Tuna Melt Potato Wedges!
