Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes (washed and cut into wedges)
- ½ cup (118 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) olive oil
Seasonings:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash russet potatoes and slice each into 8 uniform wedges, ensuring consistent thickness for even cooking.
- Immerse potato wedges in ice-cold water for 25-30 minutes to eliminate excess surface starch, which helps achieve maximum crispiness.
- Drain potato wedges completely and meticulously pat dry using clean kitchen towels or paper towels to remove all moisture.
- Create a robust seasoning mixture by combining extra virgin olive oil, finely minced fresh garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, dried oregano, granulated garlic, powdered onion, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Gently tumble potato wedges in the seasoning blend, ensuring each wedge is comprehensively and evenly coated with the aromatic mixture.
- Arrange seasoned wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet (38 x 26 centimeters or 15 x 10 inches), positioning them skin-side down with slight separation between each piece.
- Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway to guarantee uniform golden-brown crispiness.
- Remove from oven and immediately garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley for enhanced flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve piping hot alongside your preferred dipping sauce, such as ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli.
Notes
- Soaking potatoes in cold water helps remove excess starch, ensuring maximum crispiness and a perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Arrange wedges skin-side down for even cooking and a beautifully crisp texture that will make everyone crave more.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese and freshly minced garlic for an intense, robust flavor that elevates these potato wedges from ordinary to extraordinary.
- Flip wedges halfway through baking to guarantee uniform browning and a delightful crunch in every single bite.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile and keep this recipe exciting each time you make it.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce to enjoy the ultimate crispy, cheesy potato experience while they’re piping hot.
