Coated with olive oil, garlic, Italian herbs, and savory parmesan cheese, they offer a flavorful twist on classic potato wedges, baked to golden perfection in the oven.
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3-4 large russet potatoes
Seasoning & Coating
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and slice the russet potatoes into wedges. Place them in a large bowl and toss with olive oil until they are evenly coated, which helps them crisp up during baking.
- Season the Wedges: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the potato wedges along with the shredded Parmesan cheese. Toss everything well so each wedge is evenly coated with the flavorful blend.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them skin-side down for a crispier texture.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes until they turn golden brown and are tender when pierced with a fork. For a fresh touch, optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Russet potatoes are preferred for their fluffy interior and crisp exterior when baked.
- To ensure even cooking, arrange wedges in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Parmesan cheese adds a savory depth but can be omitted for a dairy-free variation.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to taste, especially salt depending on dietary requirements.
- Serve these wedges with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, ketchup, or aioli for extra flavor.
