Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
Wash and scrub russet potatoes, then cut into even wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).

Step 2: Season the Potatoes

In a large bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and toss again to coat.

Step 3: Bake the Potato Wedges

Arrange wedges skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Use Russet Potatoes – They have the best texture for crispy wedges.
Soak in Water First – Soaking the potatoes for 30 minutes removes excess starch, making them crispier.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan – Space out wedges to allow them to crisp up.
For Extra Crispiness – Bake for an additional 5 minutes under the broiler.
