Ingredients
Scale
Potato Base:
- 4 medium russet potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
Finishing and Cooking:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 400F (200C) and creating a non-stick surface on a baking sheet using parchment paper or light greasing.
- Transform whole potatoes into uniform wedges by slicing each into eight equal sections, then transferring them into a spacious mixing vessel.
- Enhance the wedges’ flavor profile by generously coating them with olive oil, then incorporating aromatic spices including garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper, along with a portion of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Meticulously arrange the seasoned wedges across the baking sheet, positioning them with skin facing downward to guarantee maximum crispiness and even browning.
- Roast the potato wedges in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, rotating them midway through the cooking process to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration and crisp exterior.
- Upon removing the wedges from the oven, immediately shower them with the remaining Parmesan cheese, allowing the residual heat to slightly melt and integrate the cheese.
- Elevate the presentation by adorning the finished wedges with freshly chopped parsley and accompanying them with a complementary dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli for an enhanced culinary experience.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and crispy exterior.
- Pat potato wedges completely dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy results.
- Arrange wedges with skin-side down and leave space between each piece to allow hot air circulation and even browning.
- Customize seasoning by swapping herbs or adding spicy elements like cayenne pepper or chili flakes for extra kick.
