Ingredients
Scale
Potato Wedges
- 4 medium russet potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasoning
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Topping
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Oven and Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Cut the russet potatoes into wedges, ensuring similarly sized pieces for even cooking.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper, making sure each wedge is coated in the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. This helps them bake evenly and get extra crispy edges.
- Add Parmesan: Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potato wedges so every wedge gets a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through baking to ensure they brown on all sides. Remove them when golden, crisp, and fork-tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the hot wedges with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes and pat them dry before seasoning.
- Try using other seasonings like smoked paprika or chili powder for a spicy kick.
- Serve with ranch, garlic aioli, or ketchup for dipping.
- Best enjoyed fresh from the oven for maximum crunch.
