Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
Seasoning
- 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 ensure the wedges don’t stick during baking.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into wedges by cutting each potato into 6-8 pieces depending on size. Place these wedges into a large bowl.
- Coat the Wedges: Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss well to coat all the pieces evenly.
- Season the Potatoes: In a small bowl, mix together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning blend over the potato wedges along with the shredded Parmesan cheese. Toss again to distribute the flavors evenly across all wedges.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing the skin-side down to help them crisp up nicely.
- Bake: Bake the potato wedges in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes until they turn golden brown and become fork-tender. Check doneness by inserting a fork to ensure the potato is soft inside.
- Optional Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the wedges before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for best flavor and melting quality.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to taste, especially if using pre-salted Parmesan.
- You can double the recipe for more servings but bake in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
