Description
Crispy baked potato wedges coated in garlic, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese, offering a flavorful and lighter alternative to fried sides.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Optional: ranch dressing or ketchup for serving
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
- In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Add Parmesan cheese and gently toss again to coat.
- Spread wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet (parchment-lined or lightly greased).
- Bake for about 45–50 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
- Remove from oven, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dip.
Notes
- Soaking the wedges in water before baking enhances crispiness.
- Sprinkle extra Parmesan in the last few minutes of baking for added flavor.
- Use smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
- Swap in other cheeses like Asiago or Pecorino if desired.
