Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Cut scrubbed potatoes into even wedges (about 8 per potato).
- In a large bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper until coated.
- Spread wedges in a single layer on baking sheet, cut sides down for optimal browning.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
- Sprinkle with additional Parmesan and chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Soak wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking for extra crispiness.
