Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
Seasonings and 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, chopped
- ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set it aside for the potato wedges.
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the potato wedges into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss them thoroughly to ensure each wedge is evenly coated.
- Mix Seasonings: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. This will be used to season the potatoes evenly.
- Coat Potatoes: Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the potato wedges and toss to coat. Then sprinkle the seasoning mixture on top and toss again to distribute everything evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, placing them skin-side down for crispy edges.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the wedges for a fresh touch. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and pat dry.
- Use fresh garlic minced instead of garlic powder for a stronger garlic flavor.
- Swap parmesan with nutritional yeast for a vegan option.
- Adjust salt and seasoning according to taste preferences.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the crispy texture.
