Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3–4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Oil and Extras:
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a large baking sheet with a light coating of non-stick spray or oil to prevent potato wedges from clinging.
- Thoroughly rinse potatoes and slice them into substantial, uniform wedges, ensuring consistent thickness for even roasting.
- Transfer potato wedges to a spacious mixing bowl and generously drizzle with olive oil, tossing meticulously to achieve complete and uniform coating.
- Create a flavor-packed seasoning blend by combining salt, garlic powder, and Italian herbs in a separate small container.
- Generously dust the oiled potato wedges with grated Parmesan cheese, gently rotating to distribute the cheese evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle the prepared herb and spice mixture over the cheese-coated wedges, ensuring each piece receives an equal distribution of seasonings.
- Arrange the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them skin-side down and maintaining space between each wedge to promote crisp edges.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, monitoring until the wedges transform into a golden-brown color and achieve a tender interior when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, aromatic finish.
- Serve immediately alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Maximize crispiness by patting potato wedges completely dry before adding oil, ensuring a crunchy exterior without excess moisture.
- Experiment with alternative cheese options like pecorino or nutritional yeast for dairy-free or lower-fat versions of this recipe.
- Cut wedges uniformly to guarantee consistent cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Elevate flavor by adding smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for a subtle kick of heat and complexity.
