Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
Seasoning and Coating
- 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 the wedges from sticking.
- Prepare Potato Wedges: Slice the russet potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl. Toss the wedges with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Season the Wedges: In a small bowl, mix together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the oiled potato wedges along with the shredded Parmesan cheese. Toss everything well to ensure the wedges are coated evenly with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them skin-side down to enhance crispiness.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
- Optional Garnish and Serve: Once baked, optionally garnish the wedges with fresh parsley for added color and freshness before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry thoroughly.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Adjust the seasoning quantities to your taste preference, especially the salt and garlic powder.
- These wedges reheat well in an oven or air fryer if you have leftovers.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as sour cream, ranch, or ketchup.
