Ingredients

For the potato wedges:

• 4 medium-sized potatoes (russet or yellow potatoes work best)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

For garnishing:

• Chopped fresh parsley
• Extra grated parmesan

Optional dipping sauce:

• Your favorite ranch, garlic aioli, or honey mustard.

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice them into wedges by cutting each potato in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3 or 4 wedges.

3. Season the Wedges

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potato wedges in the mixture until they are evenly coated.

4. Add Parmesan Cheese

Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the wedges and toss gently to coat.

5. Arrange and Bake

Place the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, skin-side down for maximum crispiness. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

6. Garnish and Serve

Once out of the oven, sprinkle the wedges with fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for Perfect Potato Wedges

• Use starchy potatoes like russets for the crispiest texture.
• Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch and enhance crispiness.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
