Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes washed, scrubbed, and cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or a mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into even wedges so they bake uniformly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly so every wedge is well coated in the garlic-Parmesan mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the sheet, skin-side down where possible, making sure they do not overlap for even crisping.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through baking to encourage even browning and crisp edges.
- When the wedges are golden and crisp at the edges, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to your main dish.
Notes
For extra crispiness, consider parboiling the wedges for 5 minutes before seasoning and baking.
