Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Toppings and Garnish
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Dipping Sauce (Optional)
- Marinara or ranch dressing for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until each wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer, skin side down, on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even baking and crispiness.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the potato wedges for a rich, savory crust during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time if desired to ensure crisp edges on both sides, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara or ranch dressing for added flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and then pat dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
- You can substitute sweet potatoes to create a sweeter version of these wedges.
- Flipping halfway through baking helps ensure even crisping on all sides.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
