Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring an even cooking surface for the potatoes.
- Combine potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl, thoroughly coating each piece with the aromatic seasonings.
- Generously dust the seasoned potatoes with Parmesan cheese, gently tossing to create an even, cheesy layer that will crisp during roasting.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single, uncrowded layer on the prepared baking sheet, allowing each wedge ample space to develop a crispy exterior.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, carefully turning the potatoes midway through cooking to ensure uniform golden-brown edges and a crunchy texture.
- Once removed from the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the hot potatoes, adding a vibrant, herbaceous finishing touch before serving immediately.
Notes
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for maximum crispiness and best texture.
- Space out potato wedges to ensure they crisp up evenly and don’t steam each other in the oven.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before seasoning to help achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Grate fresh Parmesan cheese for superior flavor and melting properties compared to pre-packaged versions.
