Ingredients

4 russet potatoes, sliced into uniform wedges
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Ranch dressing or ketchup (optional, for serving)
Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking sheet or pan to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Toss until each wedge is evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space to crisp up.
Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–35 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and tender. Check doneness by piercing with a fork.
Step 5: Transfer the baked wedges to a serving dish and garnish with parsley if desired.
Step 6: Serve warm with ranch dressing, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning, then dry thoroughly.
Try adding smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Use fresh grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
Sweet potatoes can be substituted for a sweeter variation.

Storage

Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.

How to Serve

The image shows eight baked potato wedges arranged closely in a white baking tray. Each wedge has a thick brown skin layer with a soft pale yellow interior. On top of the potato's inside surface, there is a golden-brown crunchy layer made of seasoned breadcrumbs and melted cheese, giving a textured, slightly uneven look with some browned spots. Small green parsley leaves are scattered on top of the wedges as garnish, adding a fresh color contrast. The background is a white marbled texture, and a white cloth is partially visible on the side.

FAQs

Can I use other types of potatoes?

Yes, Yukon Gold or sweet potatoes can be used, but cooking times may vary slightly. Russet potatoes are best for a crispy texture.

How do I make the wedges extra crispy?

Soaking the potatoes in cold water before cooking helps remove excess starch, which improves crispiness. Also, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet so the wedges roast evenly.
