Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
Seasoning & Toppings
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into wedges ensuring that they are evenly cut for consistent cooking. Place the wedges into a large bowl and toss them with olive oil to coat thoroughly.
- Season the Wedges: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the oiled potato wedges. Add the shredded Parmesan cheese and toss everything well to ensure an even coating of seasonings and cheese on all wedges.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the seasoned potato wedges on the greased baking sheet in a single layer with the skin-sides down. This layout helps in getting a crisp exterior.
- Bake the Potatoes: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 25–35 minutes or until they are golden brown and fork-tender. Check at the 25-minute mark to avoid over-baking. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving for added color and flavor.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for the best texture and crispiness.
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning.
- Adjust salt levels according to your taste preference.
- Freshly shredded Parmesan cheese melts better and provides more flavor than pre-grated.
- Serving suggestion: pair with ketchup, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli for dipping.
