Ingredients

3-4 large russet potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Step 2: Slice the potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil to coat evenly.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the potato wedges along with the parmesan cheese, tossing well to coat all wedges evenly.
Step 4: Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet with the skin-side down.
Step 5: Bake for 25–35 minutes until the wedges are golden brown and fork-tender. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning.
Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a smoky or spicy twist.
Use fresh garlic minced finely instead of garlic powder for a stronger garlic flavor.

Storage

Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to restore crispiness, or use a toaster oven for a quicker option. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use other types of potatoes?

Yes, you can use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but russets tend to yield the best crispy texture due to their higher starch content.

How do I make these wedges healthier?

To make a lighter version, reduce the olive oil slightly or spray the wedges lightly with cooking spray before seasoning. Baking instead of frying already keeps them healthier than traditional fries.
