Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) olive oil
Seasoning:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 400°F (200°C) and ready a baking sheet with parchment paper or light grease to prevent sticking.
- Transform potatoes into wedge-shaped segments, approximately 8 per potato, then immerse in cold water for 20-30 minutes to extract excess starch, ensuring maximum crispiness.
- Thoroughly drain potato wedges and gently blot with a kitchen towel to remove moisture completely.
- Craft a flavor-packed seasoning blend by combining olive oil, aromatic garlic, grated Parmesan, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Gently tumble potato wedges within the seasoning mixture, guaranteeing each piece receives an even, luxurious coating.
- Strategically arrange seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet, positioning skin-side downward to promote uniform browning.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, rotating wedges midway to achieve a gorgeous golden-brown exterior and irresistible crisp texture.
- Upon removing from the oven, lavish the hot potato wedges with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley.
- Present immediately alongside your preferred dipping sauce, such as creamy ranch or zesty garlic aioli, for a delectable side dish.
Notes
- Soak potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, ensuring a crispier exterior and fluffy interior when baked.
- Pat wedges completely dry before seasoning to prevent steaming and promote better browning and crunchiness.
- Arrange potato wedges with skin-side down and leave space between each piece for even air circulation and maximum crispiness.
- Customize the seasoning blend by experimenting with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or adding a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.
