Ingredients

3-4 large russet potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet.
Step 2: Wash and slice the potatoes into wedges. Place them in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the mixture over the potato wedges along with the shredded parmesan cheese. Toss again to ensure all wedges are evenly coated.

Step 4: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with the skin sides down.
Step 5: Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and fork-tender. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly.

Swap Italian seasoning with smoked paprika or chili powder for a different flavor profile.
Add a sprinkle of fresh rosemary or thyme for aromatic herbs.
Use Parmesan Reggiano for a sharper, nuttier cheese flavor.

Storage

Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

3–4 large russet potatoes

Seasonings & Oil

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Prepare Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into wedges. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil to evenly coat each piece with oil, which helps in achieving crispy edges.

Season Wedges: In a small bowl, whisk together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the potato wedges along with the shredded Parmesan cheese, tossing thoroughly to ensure every wedge is well coated with the seasoning blend and cheese.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, placing them with the skin side down to maximize crispiness.
Bake: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes until they are golden brown and fork-tender, turning once if desired for even crispiness.

Serve Garnished: Optionally garnish the baked wedges with fresh parsley before serving for added color and freshness.

Notes

Make sure the potato wedges are cut into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
Using russet potatoes gives the best texture for crispy on the outside and fluffy inside wedges.

If you want extra crispiness, you can broil the wedges for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking but watch carefully to prevent burning.
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
These wedges pair well with sour cream, ranch dressing, or ketchup for dipping.
