Ingredients
Potatoes
- 4 medium russet potatoes
Seasoning & Oil
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Extra Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crispy potato wedges.
- Prepare Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly and slice them into thick wedges, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the potato wedges in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded to promote even baking and crispiness.
- Bake Wedges: Bake the wedges for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve an evenly golden and crispy texture on all sides.
- Serve: Optionally, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the hot wedges before serving for extra cheesy flavor.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for best texture and crispiness.
- Flipping the wedges halfway through baking ensures even cooking and browning.
- For extra crispiness, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove some starch, then dry thoroughly.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispness.
