Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
Seasonings and Oil
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl. Toss the wedges with olive oil until they are evenly coated for a crisp texture.
- Season Wedges: In a separate small bowl, mix together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning mix along with the shredded parmesan cheese over the potato wedges. Toss thoroughly to ensure each wedge is well covered with the flavorful coating.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them with the skin-side down to maximize crispiness.
- Bake: Bake the potato wedges in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes until they turn golden brown and are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Optional Garnish: Once baked, you can optionally garnish the wedges with fresh parsley for added color and flavor before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak sliced potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before tossing with oil and seasoning to remove excess starch.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with a mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme if desired.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, ketchup, or garlic aioli for additional flavor.
- These potato wedges are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
