Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until they are well coated. This helps the seasoning stick and ensures a crispy texture.
Season Potatoes: In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the coated potato wedges, then evenly distribute the seasoning mixture on top. Toss gently to coat the wedges in the cheese and spices.
Bake: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. You may flip them halfway through the baking time for even crispness.
Serve: Once baked, remove the wedges from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before preparing to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly.
You can customize the seasoning by adding smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Use fresh parmesan cheese for best melting and flavor results.
The recipe yields approximately 4 servings as a side dish.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
