Ingredients
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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Slice Potatoes: Cut the russet potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl.
- Coat with Olive Oil: Toss the potato wedges with olive oil thoroughly to ensure they’re evenly coated.
- Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Season Potatoes: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the wedges, then add the shredded parmesan cheese. Toss everything well to coat the wedges evenly.
- Arrange Wedges: Place the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet with the skin sides down to crisp up nicely.
- Bake: Bake for 25–35 minutes until the wedges turn golden brown and are fork-tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving for an added fresh touch.
Notes
- Ensure wedges are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
- Using fresh parmesan cheese enhances flavor and ensures better melting.
- For extra crispiness, flip the wedges halfway through baking.
- Serve with a variety of dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch, or aioli.
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with a mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme if unavailable.
