Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
Seasonings & Toppings
- 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 for garnish
- Optional: ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the potato wedges.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking.
- Season Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until all wedges are coated evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Bake Potatoes: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy on all sides.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the wedges from the oven, sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese evenly over the top, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro over the top. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking.
- Make sure to cut wedges evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme.
- Use a wire rack on the baking sheet to allow better air circulation for crispier wedges.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crisp texture.
