Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp fine sea salt or kosher salt
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Cut potatoes lengthwise in half, then slice each half into 4–5 wedges about ½ inch thick.
- Place wedges in a large bowl of cold water with ice cubes for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, toss wedges with salt, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle with olive oil and mix until evenly coated.
- Arrange wedges cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flip, then bake another 12–15 minutes until golden and crispy.
- While hot, toss with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dip.
Notes
- For spicy wedges, add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning.
- For herbed wedges, toss with rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning before baking.
- Swap Parmesan for shredded cheddar for a richer flavor.
- Try sweet potatoes for a slightly shorter bake time.
