Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3–4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Liquid Ingredient:
- 4 tablespoons (59 milliliters) olive oil
Optional Garnish/Dipping:
- Fresh parsley (or cilantro)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious baking sheet by lightly coating with cooking spray, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking.
- Slice potatoes into uniform wedges, maintaining consistent thickness for balanced cooking and crispy texture.
- Transfer potato wedges into a generously sized mixing bowl, creating ample space for thorough coating.
- Drizzle olive oil over the potato wedges, gently tossing to ensure each piece is evenly and lightly glazed.
- Create a flavor-packed seasoning blend by combining garlic powder, salt, and Italian herbs in a separate small container.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the oil-coated potato wedges, carefully rotating the bowl to distribute cheese evenly.
- Dust the cheese-covered wedges with the prepared herb and spice mixture, massaging gently to help seasonings adhere.
- Meticulously arrange potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet, positioning skin-side down to promote even browning.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 375°F, allowing wedges to roast until golden and fork-tender, approximately 25-35 minutes.
- Once removed from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, aromatic finishing touch.
- Serve hot alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing for a delectable dipping experience.
Notes
- Achieve perfectly crispy edges by ensuring potato wedges are dry before seasoning and coating with oil.
- Opt for russet potatoes for the best texture and ability to create golden, crunchy exteriors.
- Arrange wedges with skin-side down to promote even browning and prevent sticking on the baking sheet.
- Use fresh garlic powder and high-quality Italian seasoning for maximum flavor impact.
- Grate Parmesan cheese freshly for a more robust and authentic taste compared to pre-packaged versions.
- Let potato wedges rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to help them crisp up and maintain their structure.
