Ingredients
Scale
Potato Wedges
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
- 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 prevent the wedges from sticking.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl. Toss the wedges with olive oil to ensure an even coating.
- Season the Wedges: In a small bowl, mix together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture and the shredded Parmesan cheese over the potato wedges, tossing thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
- Arrange for Baking: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them skin-side down for crispiness.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes until they are golden brown on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving for added color and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure wedges are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
- For extra crispiness, flip the wedges halfway through baking.
- Parmesan cheese adds both flavor and a crispy coating; do not skip.
- Serve immediately for best texture.
- These wedges pair well with ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
