Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
Seasoning and Coating
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Optional
- fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish
- ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a large baking sheet to prevent the potato wedges from sticking and set it aside.
- Prepare the potato wedges: Place the sliced potato wedges into a large bowl. Drizzle them evenly with olive oil and toss well to ensure each wedge is coated.
- Mix seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until combined.
- Coat potatoes with cheese and seasoning: Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the potato wedges and toss them to distribute the cheese evenly. Then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the wedges, tossing again to coat thoroughly.
- Arrange and bake: Lay the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, placing them skin-side down for optimal crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes until the wedges are golden and fork-tender.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, sprinkle the wedges with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve them warm with your preferred dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Notes
- Use large russet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Tossing potatoes with olive oil ensures even crisping during baking.
- For extra crispiness, flip the wedges halfway through baking if desired.
- Fresh parsley, cilantro, or chives make a colorful and flavorful garnish.
- Serve with ranch, blue cheese, or your favorite dipping sauces to enhance the taste.
