Ingredients

3-4 large russet potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Step 2: Slice the potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil to coat evenly.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the potato wedges along with the Parmesan cheese, then toss well to coat all wedges evenly.
Step 4: Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet with the skin-side down.
Step 5: Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and fork-tender. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before coating to remove excess starch.
Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a subtle smoky or spicy kick.
Use sharp or aged Parmesan cheese for a more intense flavor.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch, aioli, or ketchup.

Storage

Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot oven or toaster oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as this can make them soggy.
