Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
Seasonings and Coating
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Optional Garnish and Serving
- Fresh parsley (or cilantro), chopped
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set it aside.
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the sliced potato wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well to coat all the wedges evenly.
- Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, whisk together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to create a seasoning blend.
- Coat Potatoes: Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the potato wedges and toss them to coat. Then, evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the wedges, tossing lightly to distribute.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with the skin sides down to ensure optimal crispiness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes until the potato wedges are fork-tender inside and golden brown on the outside.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry thoroughly.
- Feel free to substitute parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast for a vegan option.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to taste, especially salt if using pre-salted cheese.
- Use fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme in place of Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture; leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
