Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large Russet potatoes (cut into wedges)
Seasonings & Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese & Herbs
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley or thyme for garnish and flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and scrubbing the potatoes well. Leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Cut each potato lengthwise into evenly sized wedges to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic or garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half of the grated Parmesan to coat each piece thoroughly.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
- Add More Parmesan: Once the wedges are golden and crisp, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the top, and pop them back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt and brown the cheese perfectly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Cut wedges uniformly for even cooking and crispiness.
- Bake at high heat (425°F) for crispy exteriors and tender interiors.
- Flip wedges halfway through baking to brown all sides evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming and promote crispness.
- Add grated Parmesan near the end to preserve sharp flavor and create a perfect crust.
- Soak wedges in cold water for 30 minutes prior to baking for extra crispness.
