Ingredients
Scale
5 large Russet potatoes, washed and dried
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Do not overcrowd the pans.
Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 equal wedges. For extra crispiness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain them completely and pat them very dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the dry potato wedges with the olive oil until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled wedges and toss gently until every wedge is well coated.
Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure there is space between each wedge for optimal crisping.
Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the wedges over.
Continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For the crispiest results, use Russet potatoes as they have a higher starch content.
Do not skip drying the potatoes after soaking; moisture prevents crisping.
If you prefer an air fryer method, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
