Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
Seasoning & Toppings
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Dipping Sauce
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Coat Potatoes with Olive Oil: In a large bowl, toss the sliced potato wedges thoroughly with olive oil to ensure each wedge is evenly coated for crispiness during baking.
- Mix Seasonings and Apply: In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the oiled potato wedges, then evenly add the seasoning mixture on top. Toss lightly if desired to distribute evenly.
- Bake the Potato Wedges: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges on the greased baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes until they turn golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, and serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For crispier wedges, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then pat dry.
- Adjust salt and seasoning to taste depending on your preference.
- Parmesan adds a nutty flavor; substitute with nutritional yeast to make it vegan.
- Serve as a side dish with burgers, grilled meats, or as a snack with your favorite dipping sauces.
