Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Optional Toppings
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- Ranch dressing for dipping
- 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 to prepare for the potato wedges.
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the potato wedges into a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the wedges and toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
- Season Potatoes: In a small bowl, whisk together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the potato wedges and toss to coat. Then sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the wedges, tossing again to distribute the flavors.
- Arrange Wedges: Place the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with the skin side down. This helps them crisp up nicely on one side.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown on the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then pat dry thoroughly.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste and add a pinch of black pepper or smoked paprika for a more robust flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
