Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 4 russet potatoes
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Complementary Ingredients:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Grab a large baking sheet and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Thoroughly scrub 4 large russet potatoes under cool water. Cut each potato into 8 even wedges, ensuring they’re roughly the same size for consistent cooking.
- Mix ¼ cup olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Drop potato wedges into the seasoned oil mixture. Use your hands to toss and coat each wedge thoroughly, making sure every surface is glistening with the fragrant marinade.
- Arrange the coated wedges on the prepared baking sheet, keeping them in a single layer without overcrowding. The wedges should not touch each other to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated 425°F oven. Roast the wedges for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to promote even browning.
- Remove the sheet from the oven. Sprinkle ½ cup grated parmesan cheese evenly over the hot wedges. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and edges turn golden.
- Pull the baking sheet out of the oven. Scatter 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley across the top for a bright, herbal finish. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Slice potatoes evenly to ensure consistent cooking and crispy texture across all wedges.
- Pat potato wedges dry with paper towels before seasoning to help them crisp up perfectly in the oven.
- Arrange wedges with space between them on the baking sheet so they roast instead of steam, creating a crunchier exterior.
- For a gluten-free version, confirm your parmesan cheese is certified gluten-free, and this dish already fits most dietary needs.
