Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
Scrub and rinse the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into wedges by halving each potato lengthwise, then cutting each half into 4-6 evenly sized wedges, depending on your preference.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to evenly coat.
In a separate bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the potatoes and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Be sure they are not overlapping or touching for the best crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-fat oven fried Parmesan potatoes!
