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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the potato wedges to add a cheesy crust during baking.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
