Ingredients
  

  • 6 large russet potatoes rinsed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced, or 3 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt adjust according to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated or shredded, divided
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp Knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice into wedges.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic (or garlic powder), onion powder, salt, paprika, and cracked pepper. Toss potato wedges until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes.
  5. After 25 minutes, sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella for unique flavors.
  • These wedges can be seasoned and prepped ahead; store them in the fridge until ready to bake.
  • For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
