Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice each potato into wedges, aiming for about 8 wedges per potato.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a seasoned oil mixture.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them in the seasoned oil until they are evenly coated.
Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the top of the wedges.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Cooking time may vary slightly based on the size of your wedges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or snack, garnished with a little extra parsley if desired.
