Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt (feel free to adjust to your preference)

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Scrub them gently with a vegetable brush if needed. Cut each potato into wedges, creating approximately 8 wedges per potato.

      Season the Potatoes: In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Once mixed, add the potato wedges into the bowl and toss them until every wedge is well coated with the savory seasoning blend.

        Incorporate the Parmesan: Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned potato wedges. With careful hands, toss the wedges again to ensure an even coating of cheese sticks to each piece.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the potato wedges out in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Pay attention to spacing to avoid overcrowding, as this will help them achieve maximum crispiness during baking.

            Bake the Wedges: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Make sure to flip the wedges halfway through the baking time to ensure they turn golden brown and crispy all over.

              Check for Doneness: The potato wedges should have a crispy exterior while remaining tender and fluffy inside. If you prefer them extra crunchy, consider baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

                Garnish and Serve: Once beautifully baked, take the wedges out of the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve the wedges hot alongside your favorite dipping sauce, such as aioli or ranch!
