📝 Ingredients
Serves 4
- 4 medium russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Optional: marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli for dipping
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Cut & Season Potatoes
Cut each potato into 6–8 wedges (depending on size). Place wedges in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add Parmesan cheese and toss again until coated.
3. Bake to Crispy Perfection
Arrange wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, skin side down. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

💡 Tips & Tricks
- Crispier wedges? Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat dry before seasoning.
- No Parmesan? Swap with pecorino or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.
- Extra kick? Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
- Reheat tip: Re-crisp leftovers in the oven or air fryer — never microwave!
