Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasonings & Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Toppings & Garnish
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Dipping Sauce (Optional)
- Marinara or ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Season the Potato Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until every wedge is evenly coated in the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange Potatoes for Baking: Place the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them skin side down to maximize crispiness.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the potato wedges to add a cheesy crust during baking.
- Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through baking if necessary, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor. Serve hot with your preferred dipping sauce such as marinara or ranch dressing.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and pat them thoroughly dry.
- You can substitute sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter variation of this recipe.
