Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized wedges (about 6-8 wedges per potato).
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small microwave-safe dish, melt the butter. Stir in the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the potato wedges evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Brush the seasoned butter mixture generously over the potatoes to coat each wedge thoroughly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the hot potato wedges. Let the cheese melt slightly.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving and serve hot.
