Ingredients
Potatoes
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
Seasonings & Oil
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Cheese
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent the wedges from sticking and to promote even cooking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into wedge shapes by cutting each potato into 6 to 8 wedges, depending on size, then place them in a large bowl to prepare for seasoning.

In a separate small bowl, mix together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, then sprinkle this seasoning blend over the wedges along with the shredded Parmesan cheese, tossing well so each wedge is evenly coated with flavor and cheese.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the greased baking sheet, placing the skin-side down to help them crisp up during baking.
- Bake Wedges: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes until the wedges are golden brown on the outside and fork-tender on the inside. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving for added freshness and color.
Notes

- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli.
- Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator is best, and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
