Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 large russet potatoes

Seasonings & Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese & Garnishes

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, freshly minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Make sure every wedge is coated evenly to lock in all the flavors.
  3. Add the Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated wedges and mix gently so the cheese sticks to the surface, creating a golden, cheesy crust during baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure all sides become delightfully crisp.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle fresh parsley over the wedges for a fresh aroma and attractive color contrast. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Slice wedges uniformly to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture.
  • Pat potatoes dry before seasoning to maximize crispiness.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and richer flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
  • Flip the wedges halfway through baking for an all-around golden crust.
