Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
Seasoning & Toppings
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent the wedges from sticking during baking.
- Prepare the potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into wedges of even thickness to ensure uniform cooking, then place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Season the wedges: In a small bowl, mix salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the potato wedges. Add the shredded parmesan cheese and toss again until all wedges are well coated with seasoning and cheese.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing the skin-side down to help them crisp up nicely.
- Bake until golden: Bake the potato wedges in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are tender when pierced with a fork. For extra freshness, optionally garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the wedges halfway through baking.
- Use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even wedges.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice color contrast and fresh flavor if garnishing.
- Russet potatoes work best for a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt based on your preference.
