Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes (cut into wedges)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin for better flavor)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated for best results)
- 1 tsp paprika (adds a smoky flavor)
- 1 tsp oregano (for an herby touch)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (enhances the garlic flavor)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (adds depth)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into wedges and soak them in cold water for 20-30 minutes. This step removes excess starch, ensuring crispier wedges. Drain and pat them dry thoroughly.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure each wedge is evenly coated.
- Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the wedges skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. This helps them crisp up evenly.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through. They’re done when golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce
