Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Cutting board and knife
• Large mixing bowl
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or aluminum foil
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Spatula

Ingredients Overview

• Potatoes: Russet potatoes are ideal for their sturdy texture and ability to crisp up nicely in the oven.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic or garlic powder adds a bold, savory kick.
• Parmesan Cheese: Grated Parmesan melts and forms a delicious crust on the potato wedges.
• Seasonings: A mix of Italian seasoning, paprika, and salt elevates the flavor.
• Olive Oil: Helps achieve a golden, crispy texture while keeping the wedges tender inside.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

1. Wash and scrub 4 medium russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges (about 6–8 wedges per potato).

3. Season the Wedges

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder), ½ teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon salt.
2. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.

4. Arrange and Bake

1. Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.
2. Sprinkle ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the wedges.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

5. Garnish and Serve

1. Once baked, remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly.
2. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
3. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara.

Recipe Tips

• Cut Evenly: Slice the potatoes into evenly sized wedges to ensure they cook uniformly.
• Use Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese melts better and provides a richer flavor.
• Crispier Wedges: Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly before seasoning.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• Pair with grilled chicken, steak, or fish for a complete meal.
• Serve as a snack or appetizer alongside dipping sauces like spicy ketchup or garlic mayo.
