👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges. Try to keep them similar in size for even cooking.

3. Season the Wedges

In a large bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well coated.

4. Arrange for Baking

Spread the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.

5. Bake and Flip

Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wedges carefully using tongs or a spatula. Bake an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.

6. Add Parmesan and Serve

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan over the hot wedges. Toss gently to coat evenly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

💡 Tips & Tricks

• Crispy wedges: Soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly.
• Even cooking: Cut potatoes into similar-sized wedges to ensure they cook evenly.
• Extra cheesy: For more cheesy flavor, add Parmesan halfway through baking as well.
• Add heat: Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
