Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes (cut into wedges)
- ½ cup (120 ml) Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation Setup: Ignite the oven to 400°F, positioning the rack in the center, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless cleanup and crisp results.
- Potato Transformation: Execute precise wedge cutting, maintaining consistent thickness to guarantee uniform cooking and achieving a perfect crispy-tender texture across all segments.
- Flavor Infusion: Within a capacious mixing vessel, orchestrate a flavor symphony by tumbling potato wedges with olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, Italian herbs, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper, ensuring each wedge becomes a canvas of robust seasonings.
- Strategic Placement: Meticulously distribute seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet, positioning skin-side down in a strategic single layer that allows ample breathing room for maximum crispification.
- Roasting Ritual: Slide the baking sheet into the heated oven, initiating the first roasting phase for 20-25 minutes, then expertly flip each wedge to promote comprehensive golden-brown caramelization and textural complexity.
- Final Transformation: Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until potato wedges manifest a burnished exterior with beautifully crisp, textured edges.
- Finishing Flourish: Immediately after extraction, shower with freshly chopped parsley, creating a vibrant visual and aromatic crescendo, then present alongside preferred complementary dipping sauces.
Notes
- Slice Precisely: Cut potatoes into equal-sized wedges to guarantee even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Coat Thoroughly: Ensure each potato wedge is completely covered with oil and seasonings for maximum flavor penetration.
- Space Strategically: Arrange wedges in a single layer without touching to create crispy, golden-brown edges on all sides.
- Flip Carefully: Turning potato wedges midway through baking helps achieve uniform browning and prevents uneven texture.
