Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-6 wedges, depending on the size of the potato. Aim for evenly sized wedges for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a seasoning mix.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this ensures a crispy texture.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even browning.
Once the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven.
If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley over the wedges for added flavor.
Serve the crispy potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
