Ingredients
Scale
Potato Wedges
- 4 large potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
Seasoning Mix
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or preferred herb)
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the seasoning mixture: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create a flavorful coating for the potato wedges.
- Coat the potato wedges: Add the cut potato wedges to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss them well to ensure each wedge is evenly coated with the oil, cheese, and spices.
- Arrange the wedges: Place the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap. This allows them to bake evenly and get crispy on all sides.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, flip the wedges to promote even browning and crispiness on both sides.
- Serve: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the wedges from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking, then pat dry.
- Feel free to substitute dried rosemary with thyme, oregano, or parsley to vary the flavor.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
- These wedges can be prepared ahead and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of salt and spices according to your taste preferences.
