Ingredients
Potatoes are a home cook’s dream. They’re versatile, affordable, and can be transformed into a plethora of dishes—each bringing a sense of warmth and satisfaction. As a mom of two and a former office worker, I know how chaotic life can get. You need recipes that don’t require a culinary degree to execute. This recipe is perfect for those busy weeknights when you need to get dinner on the table quickly, but still want to nourish your family with something wholesome and delicious.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to whip up this delightful potato dish:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the potato wedges in the mixture until they are well-coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes and toss gently to coat.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
A little tip from my kitchen: If you have a few extra minutes, let the potatoes soak in cold water for about 20 minutes before baking. This helps them achieve that perfect, crispy exterior.
