Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
0.66 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional
Instructions
1. Wash and scrub the russet potatoes, then cut each into thick wedges.
2. Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes to remove starch.
3. Drain and pat them completely dry with a clean towel.
4. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Toss the wedges in the oil mixture until evenly coated.
6. Add half of the Parmesan cheese and toss again.
7. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Arrange wedges in a single layer, cut side down, leaving space between them.
9. Bake for 20 minutes, flip them, then bake for another 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy.
10. Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining Parmesan on top.
11. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Soaking the potatoes is the key to that signature crisp—don’t skip it.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting and browning.
Avoid crowding the baking sheet; give those wedges space to roast.
