Ingredients
3 large russet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (divided)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut each one in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3–4 equal wedges.
3. In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and half of the parmesan cheese.
4. Arrange the wedges skin-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure there’s space between each wedge.
5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp on the outside and tender inside.
6. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking helps remove excess starch and makes them extra crispy.
Always use freshly grated parmesan for the best melt and flavor—it makes a huge difference.
Don’t crowd the baking sheet. Give each wedge room to breathe so they roast, not steam.
