Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 34 large russet potatoes, cut into hearty wedges
Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Cheese and Oil:
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons (59 milliliters) olive oil
Optional Garnish & Dip:
- Fresh parsley (or cilantro)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coating a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent potato adhesion.
- Transform russet potatoes into wedge-shaped pieces, ensuring uniform size for consistent cooking, then transfer to a spacious mixing vessel.
- Coat potato wedges thoroughly with olive oil, massaging each piece to guarantee complete and even coverage.
- Craft a flavor blend by combining salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a separate small container, creating a harmonious spice mixture.
- Generously shower shredded Parmesan cheese over the oil-coated potato wedges, gently tumbling to distribute the cheese evenly.
- Sprinkle the prepared seasoning mixture across the cheese-covered wedges, performing a final gentle toss to ensure comprehensive flavor distribution.
- Arrange the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet, positioning skin sides downward to promote optimal crispiness and uniform heat penetration.
- Roast within the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, monitoring until wedges transform into golden-brown delicacies with a tender interior that yields effortlessly to a fork.
- Extract from the oven and embellish with freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant green accent and herbaceous note.
- Present immediately alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing, inviting companions to indulge in a delectable dipping experience.
Notes
- Pat potatoes dry before coating to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent soggy wedges.
- Spread wedges with enough space between them on the baking sheet to ensure even browning and crisp edges.
- Experiment with alternative cheese options like pecorino or aged cheddar for different flavor profiles.
- Customize seasoning blend by adding smoked paprika or red pepper flakes for extra kick and personalized taste.
