Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium russet potatoes
Seasoning
- 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 the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then slice into thick wedges to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil over the potato wedges. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss well until all wedges are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Spread the potato wedges in a single layer without overcrowding to allow proper air circulation.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the wedges turn golden brown. Flip them halfway through the baking time to ensure even crispiness on all sides.
- Finish and Serve: Optional: Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on the hot wedges right before serving for extra flavor. Let the wedges cool slightly, then serve and enjoy your delicious snack or side dish!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and pat dry thoroughly.
- You can substitute Parmesan cheese with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
- Use fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to vary the flavor profile.
- These wedges are best served immediately but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
