Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large Russet Potatoes Choose large, starchy potatoes for the best texture.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Adds richness and helps create that golden exterior.
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder For that delicious savory kick.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Can substitute with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 tsp Dried Italian Herbs A blend of oregano, basil, and thyme adds depth.
  • to taste Salt and Pepper Essential for enhancing all the flavors.
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley Optional, for a touch of color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 425°F (220°C) and let it warm up while you prepare the potatoes.
  2. Wash and cut the potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes until clean. Cut them into wedges—about 8 per potato works well. No need to peel; the skin adds texture and flavor!
  3. Season the wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the dried herbs. Make sure they are well-coated.
  4. Arrange on a baking sheet: Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Pop the wedges in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Add the cheese: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top of the wedges. Let it melt and turn golden!
  7. Garnish: Once finished, remove them from the oven, and sprinkle over some fresh parsley for extra brightness.

Notes

For extra crunch, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning. Use a baking stone for even better texture.
