Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium russet potatoes cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry thoroughly.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Soaking the potatoes is key for maximum crispiness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—give the wedges room to roast.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and melting.
  • For even crispier wedges, finish under the broiler for 2–3 minutes.
