Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
Seasoning and Toppings
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- optional: fresh parsley (or cilantro)
- optional: ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set it aside to prepare for baking the potato wedges.
- Prepare potatoes: Place the sliced potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the wedges and toss them thoroughly to ensure each wedge is well coated with oil.
- Season potatoes: In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the potato wedges and toss again to coat evenly, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the wedges and toss one more time.
- Arrange for baking: Place the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, arranging them with the skin-side down for the best texture and crispiness.
- Bake potatoes: Bake the potato wedges in the preheated oven for 35 minutes until they are fork-tender and golden brown. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork to ensure softness inside.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the wedges if using. Serve the garlic parmesan potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Notes
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce – ranch or blue cheese dressing complements the flavors well.
- For extra crispiness, you can flip the wedges halfway through baking.
- Russet potatoes work best for baking but you can use Yukon gold as a substitute.
- Adjust the garlic and seasoning quantities to suit your taste preferences.
