Step 2: Season the potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is well coated with the seasoning.
Step 3: Bake
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Finish
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, add a little extra Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately.
Chef’s Tips
For an even crispier texture, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them thoroughly before seasoning. Smoked paprika can be substituted for sweet paprika for a slightly toasted flavor.
You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice when serving for a touch of freshness. Nutritional Information (per approximate serving)
