Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large Russet Potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it’s nice and hot for baking those wedges to crispy perfection.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut each into eight evenly sized wedges to ensure even cooking.
  3. Season and Coat: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they aren’t overcrowded to maximize crispiness.
  5. Bake to Crispy Perfection: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through so both sides get golden brown and crunchy.
  6. Add Parmesan and Broil: Remove the wedges from the oven, sprinkle grated Parmesan evenly over the top, and broil on high for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and forms a delicious crust.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley if desired and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use Russet Potatoes: Their high starch content ensures a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
  • Don’t Skip the Flip: Turning the wedges halfway guarantees even browning on all sides.
  • Dry Potatoes Well: Pat them dry before seasoning to help the oil and spices stick better.
  • Space Them Out: Crowding the baking sheet causes steaming instead of crisping.
  • Fresh Grated Parmesan: Grate the cheese yourself for better melting and flavor compared to pre-grated bags.
