Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large Russet potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasoning
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges. Place the wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat all pieces evenly.
- Season the Potatoes: In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss to coat them evenly. Add the freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and toss again to ensure each wedge is coated with the cheese and seasoning.
- Bake the Potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer, skin side down, on the prepared sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Bake until the wedges are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked potato wedges from the oven. Transfer them to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor. Serve immediately while hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
- Flipping halfway through baking helps achieve a crispy texture on all sides.
- Use freshly shredded Parmesan for the best flavor and melt quality.
- Feel free to add extra herbs like rosemary or thyme for variation.
- Serve with ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli for a complete experience.
