Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, fresh and minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil, extra virgin
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F with rack in center position for optimal heat circulation.
- Thoroughly cleanse potatoes under cold water, removing any dirt or debris, then slice into robust, uniform wedges.
- Transfer potato wedges to spacious mixing vessel, drizzle with fragrant olive oil to ensure complete coverage.
- Generously season wedges with finely chopped garlic, aromatic Italian herbs, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Liberally dust wedges with grated Parmesan cheese, gently tumbling ingredients to create uniform, delectable coating.
- Arrange seasoned wedges on parchment-lined baking sheet, positioning them with strategic spacing to guarantee maximum crispness.
- Slide sheet into preheated oven, roast for 30-35 minutes, rotating wedges midway to promote even golden-brown caramelization.
- Once potatoes emerge with crisp exterior and tender interior, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese while piping hot.
- Allow wedges to rest momentarily, enabling flavors to settle and texture to stabilize before serving.
Notes
- Ensure potato wedges are thoroughly dried after washing to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent soggy results.
- Massage seasonings directly into potato surfaces for deeper flavor penetration and more even coating.
- Use a large baking sheet and keep wedges separated to allow hot air circulation, guaranteeing perfectly crispy exterior.
- Replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a vegan version or use gluten-free seasonings for those with dietary restrictions.
