Ingredients
4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: dried herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure the potatoes bake evenly and become crispy. While the oven is heating up, wash and peel the potatoes.
After peeling, cut the potatoes into wedges to ensure they cook thoroughly. The wedges should be uniform in size to promote even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, add the potato wedges and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss the potatoes gently to coat them evenly in oil, ensuring each wedge is well covered.
Next, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled potatoes. Toss the potatoes again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Now, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Use your hands or a spoon to press the cheese gently into the potatoes, making sure it sticks to the surface.
This will help create that crispy, cheesy crust when the potatoes bake. Lay the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overlapping, so they cook evenly.
