Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges by first halving the potato lengthwise, then slicing each half into 3-4 wedges depending on the size.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss again to ensure each wedge is evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping. This helps them crisp up evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through baking, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
While the wedges are baking, grate the Gruyere cheese and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the wedges are done baking, sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese evenly over the hot wedges. Return them to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the wedges from the oven and garnish with the fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
