Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Scrub and slice the potatoes into wedges, about 6-8 per potato.
2. Boil the wedges in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and let them steam dry.
3. Toss the wedges in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
4. Place them skin-side down on a parchment-lined metal baking tray.
5. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
6. Sprinkle half the Parmesan at the 20-minute mark during roasting.
7. Remove from the oven and toss with remaining Parmesan and chopped parsley.
8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Let the potatoes dry completely after boiling for extra crispiness.
Use finely grated Parmesan for best coverage and texture.
Flip the wedges halfway through baking for even browning.
