Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3–4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) shredded parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Cooking Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil
Optional Garnish and Dipping:
- Fresh parsley or cilantro
- Ranch dressing
- Blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a large baking sheet with a light coating of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and cut potatoes into uniform wedge shapes, ensuring even cooking and consistent texture.
- Transfer potato wedges to a spacious mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing carefully to create a complete and even coating.
- Create a seasoning blend by combining garlic powder, salt, and Italian herbs in a small mixing container.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oil-coated potato wedges, using gentle hand movements to distribute the spices thoroughly and consistently.
- Generously dust the seasoned wedges with grated parmesan cheese, ensuring each wedge receives an equal layer of cheesy goodness.
- Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them with skin sides facing downward to promote optimal crispiness.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, rotating the sheet midway to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Remove from oven once wedges are crisp, tender, and displaying a rich golden exterior.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, allowing the herbs to add a vibrant finish, and serve immediately alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best crispy exterior and creamy interior.
- Pat potato wedges completely dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and better herb adherence.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, which can cause steaming instead of roasting and prevent golden browning.
- For gluten-free option, double-check that parmesan cheese is certified gluten-free and replace Italian seasoning with individual dried herbs like oregano, thyme, and basil.
