Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3-4 large russet potatoes
Seasonings & Oil
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Cheese
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent the potato wedges from sticking during baking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and slice the russet potatoes into wedges. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until each piece is evenly coated, ensuring they crisp up nicely in the oven.
- Season Potatoes: In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the oiled potatoes along with the shredded Parmesan cheese. Toss everything gently again to distribute the seasonings and cheese evenly over each wedge.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to allow for even baking and browning.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes. Bake until the wedges are golden brown on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Optionally, garnish the baked potato wedges with fresh parsley for added color and freshness. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then pat dry thoroughly.
- Adjust the amount of garlic powder and Italian seasoning to your taste preference.
- These wedges can be reheated in the oven to restore their crisp texture.
- Substitute Parmesan cheese with a vegetarian-friendly alternative if desired.
