Ingredients

Potato Wedges

  • 4 large Russet Potatoes (rinsed and scrubbed)

Seasoning and Topping

  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/3 cup Finely grated or shredded Parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Thoroughly rinse and scrub the Russet potatoes to remove dirt, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring crispiness during baking.
  3. Cut the Potatoes into Wedges: Place each potato on a cutting board, slice in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise again into quarters. For large potatoes, cut each quarter in half again to create 8 wedges per potato.
  4. Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  5. Coat the Potatoes: Place all potato wedges in a large mixing bowl, pour the seasoning oil mixture over them, and toss thoroughly to coat each wedge evenly with the flavorful blend.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheets: Spread the coated wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between wedges to allow for even baking and crisping.
  7. Add Parmesan and Bake: Sprinkle about three-quarters of the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping once halfway through with tongs to ensure even browning and crispness on all sides.
  8. Finish with Toppings: Remove the wedges from the oven, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
  9. Serve: Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, then serve the wedges warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy this crispy, cheesy side dish!

Notes

  • Use Russet potatoes for the best texture and crispiness.
  • Cutting the potatoes into evenly sized wedges ensures even cooking.
  • Flipping the wedges halfway through baking helps achieve uniform browning.
  • You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
  • For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning.
  • Serve with dips like ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli for enhanced flavor.
