Ingredients
  

  • 3 large russet potatoes scrubbed and cut into wedges
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to ensure it is hot enough to crisp the potatoes properly.
  2. Place your prepared potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the wedges and toss them thoroughly until every surface is evenly coated.

  3. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the oiled potatoes. Toss again to ensure the cheese adheres to the oil-coated surfaces.

  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Sprinkle this spice blend over the wedges and toss one final time to distribute the flavors evenly.

  5. Place the wedges on a rimmed baking sheet. For the best texture, arrange them skin-side down and ensure they are not overlapping.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes. The wedges are done when they are fork-tender on the inside and beautifully golden and crisp on the outside.

Notes

To achieve the absolute crispiest wedges, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes and pat them completely dry before seasoning. Using a dark-colored baking sheet will also help absorb more heat and promote better browning on the bottom.
