Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large Russet potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasoning
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
Other
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges. Place the wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat.
- Season the Potatoes: In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potato wedges and toss to coat evenly. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss again to ensure all wedges are well coated.
- Bake the Potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the sheet, placing them skin side down. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking for even browning, until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the potato wedges from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and freshness. Serve the wedges hot alongside your favorite dipping sauces for a perfect snack or side dish.
Notes
- Make sure all potato wedges are evenly coated with oil and seasonings for the best flavor and crispiness.
- Flipping the wedges halfway through baking helps them cook evenly and become crisp on all sides.
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then dry thoroughly.
- Use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese for optimal melting and flavor, as pre-grated cheese may not melt as well.
- Serve with ranch, ketchup, or garlic aioli for delicious dipping options.
