Ingredients
-
3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cut potatoes into thick wedges (6–8 wedges per potato).
-
Toss wedges in a large bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
-
Arrange wedges in a single layer, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden, crispy, and cooked through.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Serve hot!
Notes
-
Cut evenly to ensure all wedges bake at the same speed.
-
Flip halfway through baking for perfectly crispy edges.
-
Freshly grate your Parmesan — it melts and crisps up way better than pre-shredded!
-
Want it spicier? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
-
Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy ketchup for extra fun!
