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.
