Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb. russet potatoes (3 to 4 potatoes, skin on)
Seasoning & Coating
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
Garnish & Dips
- Chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
- Ranch dressing or bleu cheese dressing (for serving)
- Sriracha ketchup or regular ketchup (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Prepare potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each potato into wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Toss with oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
- Mix seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and ground paprika until fully combined.
- Coat wedges: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss again until every wedge is well coated with the flavorful blend.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the coated potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
- Bake: Bake the potato wedges in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they are tender on the inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the wedges from the oven and sprinkle them with freshly chopped chives if desired. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm alongside your choice of ranch, bleu cheese dressing, sriracha ketchup, or regular ketchup.
- Enjoy: Enjoy your crispy garlic Parmesan potato wedges as a tasty side dish or snack.
Notes
- Russet potatoes work best for crispy wedges due to their starchy nature.
- Keeping the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
- Make sure to coat the wedges evenly with oil and seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness.
- If you prefer extra crispy wedges, you can flip them halfway through baking.
- Feel free to swap Parmesan for nutritional yeast for a vegan alternative (note: this will change the diet category).
- The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of the potato wedges.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
