Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 Russet potatoes
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1.5 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cooking Components:
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Parsley (optional)
- Ranch dressing (optional)
- Ketchup (optional)
Instructions
- Crank your oven to exactly 375°F and spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Grab 4 Russet potatoes and slice them into uniform wedges about 1-inch thick, ensuring consistent shapes for even cooking.
- Toss the potato wedges into a spacious mixing bowl with 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1.5 tablespoons Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Thoroughly coat each potato wedge in the seasoning mixture, ensuring every surface gets an even layer of flavor.
- Arrange the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart so they can crisp up perfectly.
- Sprinkle a generous half cup of shredded parmesan cheese evenly across the potato wedges before placing them in the oven.
- Bake for precisely 30 minutes at 375°F, rotating the pan halfway through to guarantee golden-brown edges.
- Check potato tenderness by piercing with a fork – they should be crispy outside and soft inside.
- Transfer the hot wedges to a serving plate and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately with ranch dressing or ketchup on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch and ensure crispy edges.
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet for the best texture and golden-brown exterior.
- Space wedges evenly on the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation and prevent steaming.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular parmesan for nutritional yeast or a dairy-free alternative.
