Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil (For coating)
- 1 teaspoon salt (Plus more to finish if desired)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (Optional but recommended)
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan (Use finely grated for best results)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (Optional for serving)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges, ensuring all wedges are of similar size.
- Pat the wedges dry with paper towels until they look dry, especially around the edges.
Coating
- In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Add salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss again to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan over the wedges and toss gently so the cheese sticks.
Baking
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan with space between each piece.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.
Notes
For extra crispy wedges, ensure potatoes are dry, do not overcrowd the pan, and let them rest for a couple of minutes post-baking for added crispness. Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, aioli, or cheese sauce for an elevated experience.
