Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
  2. Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, freshly minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Ensure every wedge is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned wedges and gently toss to distribute the cheese evenly, creating a crispy, cheesy crust when baked.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness and golden color.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm immediately to enjoy the best taste and crunch.

Notes

  • Choose Russet potatoes for their ideal starch content that crisps well when baked.
  • Cut wedges evenly to ensure all pieces cook uniformly without burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow maximum airflow and crispiness.
  • Flip wedges halfway through baking for even browning on both sides.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated for better melting and flavor.
  • Let wedges rest for a couple of minutes after baking to firm up before serving.
