- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
Optional Dipping Sauces
- Bleu cheese with parsley
- Ketchup

Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes
Cut the russet potatoes into thick wedges and place them in a large bowl.
2. Coat with Oil
Drizzle the olive oil over the wedges and toss to coat them evenly.
3. Season
In a small bowl, mix the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the potatoes. Add the shredded parmesan and toss again to evenly distribute.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the wedges skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure they’re spaced apart for even crisping.
5. Bake
Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until golden and fork-tender. Baking time may vary depending on wedge thickness.
6. Garnish and Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm with a variety of your favorite dipping sauces.
Tips for Perfect Wedges
- Use Russet potatoes for the best texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—give each wedge space to crisp up.
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then dry thoroughly.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan—it melts and crisps better than pre-grated.
