Ingredients
Serves 4
4 medium russet potatoes (scrubbed clean)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut each potato into 8 wedges (cut in half lengthwise, then each half into quarters). - Season the Wedges
Place wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated. - Add Parmesan
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the wedges and toss again gently so they’re evenly coated. - Bake Until Crispy
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange wedges skin-side down in a single layer. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through if needed. - Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with ranch, ketchup, or garlic aioli for dipping.
Tips for Extra Crispiness:
- Soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch. Pat dry completely before seasoning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — leave space between wedges for better air circulation.
