Ingredients
- Russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- Olive oil
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cut potatoes into wedges: slice in half lengthwise, then into 3–4 wedges per half depending on size.
- In a large bowl, toss wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet, skin-side down.
- Sprinkle half the Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping once if needed, until golden and crisp.

Notes
- For even crispier wedges, soak potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry well before seasoning.
- Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for extra kick.
- Use sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter version.
- Try dipping in ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara for even more flavo
