Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
Seasoning & Oil
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Cheese & Garnish
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- optional: fresh parsley (or cilantro), for garnish
- optional: ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set it aside to prepare for baking the potato wedges.
- Prepare potatoes: Place the sliced potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the wedges and toss well to ensure even coating.
- Mix seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until combined.
- Coat wedges: Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the potato wedges and toss to coat them evenly with the cheese. Then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the coated wedges, tossing again to distribute the flavors.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the potato wedges onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the skin side is down for crispiness.
- Bake: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and golden brown, flipping halfway if desired for even crisping.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for freshness. Serve the potato wedges warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and flavor.
- Adjust seasoning quantities according to your taste preferences.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness rather than using a microwave.
