Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
Seasonings
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Optional Garnish and Serving
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a spacious baking sheet to prevent sticking and prepare it for the potato wedges.
- Coat the Potato Wedges: Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss thoroughly to ensure each wedge is evenly coated with oil.
- Season the Potatoes: In a small bowl, mix together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over the oiled potato wedges and toss gently to coat.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese generously over the seasoned potato wedges. Mix lightly to distribute the cheese evenly without breaking the wedges.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the prepared potato wedges on the greased baking sheet in a single layer, positioning the skin side down for optimal crispiness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes until the wedges are tender on the inside and golden brown with a crisp exterior.
- Garnish and Serve: After baking, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve the wedges hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: Serve warm and crispy with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes for best texture.
- Freezing: For freezing, spread wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and reheat directly from frozen in the oven.
