Detailed Directions and Instructions
Preparation of Potatoes
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt, then cut them into wedges. You can cut each potato lengthwise into half and then into quarters for evenly sized wedges.
Seasoning the Potatoes
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Toss the potato wedges in the mixture until they are well coated.
Adding Parmesan
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned potato wedges, ensuring they are evenly covered.
Arranging on Baking Sheet
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not overcrowded. This will help them bake evenly.
Baking the Wedges
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through the baking time for even cooking.
Serving
Once baked, remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional Parmesan and herbs if desired, then serve hot.
Notes
Potato Choices
Russet potatoes are recommended for their fluffy texture but feel free to use Yukon Gold or any other variety you prefer.
Storage
Leftover potato wedges can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating
To reheat, place the wedges in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness.
Customizing Seasoning
Feel free to customize the seasoning by adding paprika, cayenne pepper, or your favorite spices to enhance the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These potato wedges make an excellent side dish for burgers, sandwiches, or can be served as a snack with your choice of dipping sauces.
