Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
Seasoning & Oil
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for crispy potato wedges.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and cut each into evenly sized wedges to allow for even cooking.
- Toss with Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all wedges evenly with the seasoning and oil mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow maximum crisping.
- Bake the Wedges: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wedges for 30 to 35 minutes. About halfway through cooking, flip the wedges to ensure they crisp evenly on all sides.
- Add Parmesan and Parsley: Once golden and crispy, remove the wedges from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley over them to allow the cheese to slightly melt and infuse flavor before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
- Flip the wedges halfway through baking for even browning and crispness.
- These wedges can be served with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
