Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large Russet potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasonings
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
Others
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges. Place all the wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing gently to coat each wedge evenly.
- Season the Potatoes: In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the potato wedges and toss well to ensure every wedge is seasoned. Then add the freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and toss again to coat the wedges uniformly.
- Bake the Potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the sheet with the skin side down. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and tenderness.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the wedges are golden brown and tender, remove them from the oven. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot alongside your favorite dipping sauces for a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then pat dry thoroughly.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.
- These wedges are best served immediately but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Use a convection setting if available to enhance browning and crisp texture.
