Ingredients
- 3-4 large russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Step 2: Slice the potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil to coat evenly.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the potato wedges along with the parmesan cheese, tossing well to coat all wedges evenly.

Tips & Variations
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch.
- Try adding smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Use grated Pecorino Romano instead of parmesan for a sharper flavor.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or marinara for added flavor.
Storage
Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness, or warm in a microwave, though they may lose some crisp texture.

FAQs
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, Yukon Gold or red potatoes can also be used, but russet potatoes are preferred for their fluffier interior and crispier exterior when baked.
Do I need to peel the potatoes before making wedges?
No, keeping the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients. Just make sure to scrub them clean before slicing.
