Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 russet potatoes
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Scrub 4 medium russet potatoes (2 lbs / 900g) thoroughly under cool water, ensuring no dirt remains on the skin.
- Cut each potato lengthwise into 6-8 uniform wedges, keeping the thickness consistent for even cooking.
- Pour ¼ cup (60ml) olive oil into a spacious mixing bowl, preparing to coat your potato wedges completely.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning into the bowl with the olive oil.
- Toss potato wedges in the seasoned oil mixture, ensuring every surface gets an even, glossy coating.
- Generously dust ½ cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges, gently pressing the cheese to help it adhere.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease to prevent sticking during roasting.
- Arrange potato wedges skin-side down in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap or touch.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and roast for 25-35 minutes.
- Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking to ensure uniform golden-brown crispiness.
- Remove wedges when they turn crisp and golden with edges slightly darkened.
- Optional: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and added freshness.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy, paired with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispy texture across all wedges.
- Pat potato wedges dry before seasoning to help them crisp up beautifully and prevent soggy results.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the most robust flavor and best melting quality on the wedges.
- For a gluten-free version, confirm your Parmesan cheese is free from additives and double-check seasoning blend ingredients.
