Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
Seasoning
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Garnish and Serving
- Fresh parsley or cilantro
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet to prevent the potato wedges from sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and slice the russet potatoes into wedges, then place them in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat each wedge evenly.
- Season Potatoes: In a small bowl, mix together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the oiled potatoes, then add the seasoning mixture. Toss again to ensure the wedges are evenly coated with the cheese and spices.
- Bake: Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to allow for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, turning halfway through if desired, until the wedges are golden brown and tender inside.
- Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a fresh touch, and serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then pat dry.
- Feel free to adjust seasoning amounts to suit your taste preferences.
- Using fresh parmesan cheese yields a better texture and flavor than pre-grated options.
- These wedges are best enjoyed immediately but can be reheated in the oven to regain crispness.
