Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Cheese and Garnish
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese until all wedges are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, arranging them skin side down to maximize crispiness.
- Bake the Potatoes: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to promote even browning. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender inside.
- Add Final Toppings and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the hot wedges before serving for extra flavor and a fresh finish.
Notes
- For extra crispy wedges, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch; be sure to dry thoroughly before seasoning.
- Serve with ranch dressing, ketchup, or garlic aioli for delicious dipping options.
