Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb. russet potatoes (3 to 4 potatoes, skin on)
Seasoning Mix
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
Other
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- Chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
- Ranch dressing or bleu cheese dressing (for serving)
- Sriracha ketchup or regular ketchup (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for later use.
- Prepare Potatoes: Rinse and pat dry the russet potatoes. Cut each potato into wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Coat Potatoes: Drizzle the potato wedges with olive oil and toss them thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, whisk together the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Season Potatoes: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges. Toss again so that all wedges are well coated with the cheesy, spiced mixture.
- Bake Wedges: Arrange the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until they are tender inside and golden brown on the outside.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Transfer the wedges to a serving platter and serve warm with your choice of ranch dressing, bleu cheese dressing, sriracha ketchup, or regular ketchup.
- Enjoy: Dig in and savor your crispy, garlicky, cheesy potato wedges with your preferred dipping sauces.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry thoroughly to remove excess starch.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Feel free to add extra herbs such as rosemary or thyme for a different flavor twist.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of paprika or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- These wedges are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
