Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried herbs until well combined.
  4. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the oil and spice mixture until all wedges are evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle the wedges with salt and pepper to taste and toss again.
  6. Place the coated potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the wedges from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot wedges so that it melts slightly.
  9. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes, just until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
