Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Oil

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste (about 1 teaspoon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (about ½ teaspoon)

Cheese

  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for texture and nutrients. Cut each potato into about 8 even wedges for uniform cooking.
  2. Parboil for Tenderness: Boil the potato wedges in salted water for approximately 5 minutes, until they are slightly tender but still firm. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the parboiled wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure each wedge is evenly coated to maximize flavor.
  4. Bake to Crispy Perfection: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, to achieve golden, crispy edges.
  5. Add the Parmesan Finish: About five minutes before baking is complete, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the wedges. Return to the oven until the cheese melts and turns golden and crisp, locking in the signature flavor.

Notes

  • Use russet potatoes for the best crispy outside and fluffy inside texture.
  • Parboiling the wedges helps achieve tender interiors without overbaking.
  • Cut wedges evenly for uniform cooking and crispness.
  • Bake at a high temperature of 425°F to brown and crisp without drying out the potatoes.
  • Flip wedges halfway through baking to ensure even color and texture.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for optimal melting and flavor.
