Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
Seasonings
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Toppings
- 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 the potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into wedges. Place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil to ensure each wedge is well coated with oil for crisping.
- Season the wedges: In a small bowl, mix salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the potato wedges, add the shredded parmesan cheese, then toss everything thoroughly to coat all wedges evenly with the flavors.
- Arrange for baking: Place the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, with the skin side down to maximize crispiness on the exterior.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the wedges are a golden brown color and fork-tender on the inside.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or your favorite herbs before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious side or snack.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for best texture and crispiness.
- For extra crunch, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and dry thoroughly.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Adjust salt and seasoning to taste, especially if Parmesan cheese is salty.
- Serve with dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli for added flavor.
