Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating with cooking spray.
- Slice potatoes into wedge-shaped segments, ensuring uniform thickness for consistent cooking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine potato wedges with extra virgin olive oil, finely grated Parmesan cheese, freshly minced garlic, Italian herb blend, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Thoroughly toss the potato wedges until each piece is evenly and generously coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them skin-side down in a single layer without overcrowding to promote optimal crispiness.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, then carefully flip each wedge to ensure uniform browning and crunchiness.
- Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potato wedges develop a golden-brown exterior and crisp edges.
- Remove from the oven and immediately garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for vibrant color and aromatic enhancement.
- Serve piping hot alongside preferred dipping sauces such as zesty marinara, creamy ranch, or classic ketchup.
Notes
- Crisp and golden potato wedges demand precise oven positioning to guarantee maximum crunchiness.
- Tossing potatoes in Parmesan and seasonings creates a flavor-packed coating that elevates the entire dish.
- Flipping wedges midway through baking ensures uniform browning and prevents soggy sections.
- Fresh parsley adds vibrant color and a subtle herbaceous note that brightens the rich, cheesy potatoes.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces to customize the experience and match your taste preferences.
- Room temperature ingredients help seasonings adhere better and promote even cooking throughout the wedges.
