Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Variations (Optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or smoked paprika (for a spicy kick)
  • Vegan parmesan substitute or 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (for vegan-friendly option)
  • Fresh rosemary, thyme, or chives instead of dried herbs (for herb variation)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for citrus brightness)
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella mixed with parmesan (for extra cheesy version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges, leaving the skin on to add texture and nutrients.
  2. Preheat the Oven and Season: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper until each wedge is evenly coated.
  3. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned potato wedges and toss lightly to evenly distribute the cheese without clumping.
  4. Arrange and Bake: Spread the potato wedges out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even crisping. Bake until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately for maximum crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Cut wedges evenly to ensure uniform cooking and consistent crispiness.
  • Use enough olive oil to coat wedges generously but avoid excess to prevent sogginess.
  • Opt for freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and browning compared to pre-shredded varieties.
  • Flip the wedges halfway through baking for even crisping on all sides.
  • Season with additional herbs or salt immediately after baking for enhanced flavor.
