Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium russet potatoes
Seasoning and Toppings
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for crispy wedges.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and thoroughly scrub the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Slice each potato into thick wedges to ensure they cook evenly and hold their shape.
- Toss with Seasoning: Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over them, then add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together until each wedge is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the potato wedges out in a single layer without overlapping to promote even baking and crispiness.
- Bake the Wedges: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip the wedges to brown both sides evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
- Optional Topping and Serve: After baking, you can sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top while the wedges are still hot to enhance the cheesiness. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Feel free to add fresh chopped herbs like parsley for a fresh garnish before serving.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure the Parmesan cheese is free from additives containing gluten.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
