Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prepare for baking.
Cut and Coat Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into wedges by slicing each potato in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 wedges. Toss the wedges in a large bowl with olive oil until fully coated.
Mix Seasoning: In a separate bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the oiled potato wedges in this Parmesan mixture, pressing the seasoning onto the wedges to help it adhere.
Arrange and Bake: Place the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, skin side down to maximize crispiness. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, sour cream, or garlic aioli for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning to remove excess starch.
Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and crisp texture.
Flip potatoes halfway through baking to ensure even browning on all sides.
Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt, depending on your preference.
These wedges can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
