Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves of garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon mixed dried Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, and thyme)

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easier, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt, then dry them with a clean towel. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, followed by slicing each half into wedges approximately 1 inch thick.

      Season the Potatoes: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried Italian herbs, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade. Add the potato wedges to the mixing bowl and toss gently until they are thoroughly coated with the oil and spices.

        Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned potato wedges. Toss again, gently, to ensure the cheese adheres evenly to all sides of the wedges.

          Arrange for Baking: Evenly spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them. This spacing is crucial for achieving that crispy texture.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Be sure to flip the wedges halfway through the baking time to promote even browning. They're ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

              Serve and Garnish: Once done, carefully remove the potato wedges from the oven. Let them cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish these delectable wedges with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley and, if you like a little heat, add some red chili flakes.

                Enjoy: Serve your crispy garlic Parmesan potato wedges immediately while they’re hot and crispy, perfect for dipping into your favorite sauce or as a delicious side dish alongside your main meal.
