Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prep the Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized wedges. Pat them dry with a paper towel — this helps them crisp up in the oven. - Season the Wedges:
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Make sure each wedge is well coated. - Bake to Perfection:
Arrange the wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side down. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crisp. - Add Parmesan Magic:
Once baked, immediately sprinkle the hot wedges with freshly grated Parmesan cheese so it melts slightly onto the potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve your garlic parmesan potato wedges with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce. They pair beautifully with burgers, grilled chicken, or can be enjoyed as a snack on their own.
