Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on adds extra texture and flavor.
Slice the potatoes lengthwise into evenly sized wedges, ensuring they’re roughly the same thickness for even cooking.
Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, dried rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper.
Toss the potato wedges thoroughly to ensure they're evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap for optimal crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip each wedge over, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, sprinkle the hot fries with grated Parmesan cheese for a savory, cheesy finish.
Transfer the Italian Style Oven Fries to a serving platter, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
