Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large russet potatoes (or your preferred variety)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for even coating and crispiness)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder (or finely minced fresh garlic for an extra kick)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (a blend of oregano, basil, and thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for that irresistible cheesy crust)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Substitutions:

  • For a vegan twist, swap out the Parmesan cheese with a plant-based alternative.
  • You can use sweet potatoes instead of russet for a sweeter, nutrient-packed version.

Instructions

Step1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.

Step2: Cut the Wedges

Slice each potato into evenly sized wedges. This ensures they cook uniformly and crisp up nicely.

Step3: Season the Wedges

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potato wedges in this mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Step4: Arrange and Add Cheese

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the top.

Step5: Bake to Perfection

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through the baking time to ensure they brown evenly. They’re done when golden brown and tender on the inside.

Step6: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

Notes

  • Use starchy potatoes: Russets are ideal for this recipe because they yield a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
  • Soak the wedges: Soaking the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning can help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier wedges.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Giving the wedges enough space ensures they bake evenly and get nice and crispy.
