Ingredients
Scale
Let’s gather everything you need to put this dish together. Here’s the rundown of the ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Not a fan of russet potatoes? You can easily substitute with Yukon golds for a creamier texture. And if Parmesan isn’t your thing, feel free to swap it with Pecorino Romano for a sharper bite.
Instructions
Now, let’s get to the fun part—cooking! Follow these steps and you’ll have a delicious side in no time:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
- Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even baking.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the wedges.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Pro tip: Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning. The smell will tell you when they’re ready!
