Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
Seasoning and Coating
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cut: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the russet potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise in half, then cut each half into three wedges, resulting in roughly six wedges per potato.
- Coat: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat every wedge.
- Bake: Arrange the coated potato wedges skin-side down in a single layer on a 15x10x1-inch baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. If there is any remaining seasoning mixture, sprinkle it over the potatoes. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the wedges are crispy on the outside and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of ketchup, ranch dressing, or any favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before coating and baking, then pat dry thoroughly.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add some freshly minced garlic along with the garlic powder when coating.
- Cooking times may vary slightly based on oven variations and potato size; monitor the wedges to avoid burning.
- This recipe works well with Yukon Gold potatoes as a substitute for russet potatoes.
- To make this dish vegetarian, ensure the Parmesan cheese used is vegetarian-friendly.
