Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes (cut into wedges)
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) freshly shredded parmesan cheese
- 4 tbsps (60 ml / 2 fl oz) olive oil
- 2 tsps salt
- 2 tsps garlic powder
- 2 tsps Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheating and Preparation: Activate the oven to 400°F (200°C). Meticulously wash and thoroughly dry russet potatoes, then slice vertically into halves and further segment into wedge-shaped portions.
- Seasoning and Coating: In a spacious mixing bowl, cascade olive oil over potato wedges, ensuring comprehensive coverage. Blend salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, then generously disperse the aromatic mixture across the wedges, massaging to achieve uniform distribution.
- Cheese Application and Arrangement: Liberally sprinkle Parmesan cheese over seasoned wedges, gently rotating to create an even coating. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or apply a light grease, then strategically position wedges skin-side down without overlapping.
- Roasting and Browning: Introduce the tray into the preheated oven, roasting for 25-35 minutes. Midway through cooking, rotate wedges to promote consistent browning and develop a golden, crisp exterior with tender interior.
- Finishing and Serving: Once potatoes achieve a rich, amber coloration and desired tenderness, remove from the oven. Transfer to an elegant serving platter, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and accompany with an assortment of complementary dipping sauces for an enhanced culinary experience.
Notes
- Choose the Right Potato: Select firm, starch-rich russet potatoes for the crispiest, most golden wedges with perfect texture.
- Dry Thoroughly: Pat potatoes completely dry after washing to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
- Uniform Cutting: Cut wedges of equal size to guarantee even cooking and consistent browning across all potato pieces.
- Spacing Matters: Arrange wedges with space between them on the baking sheet to allow hot air circulation, creating a crispy exterior.
