Equipment

  • 15x10x1-inch baking pan
  • Vegetable brush
  • Kitchen towels
  • Food processor (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 large Russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Spray a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Wash potatoes thoroughly under cool running water, scrubbing gently with a vegetable brush.
  • Pat dry completely with clean kitchen towels.
  • Cut each potato into 8 thick wedges (about 1/2 inch thick).
  • In a bowl, mix grated Parmesan, garlic powder, dried basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Drizzle potatoes with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon per potato).
  • Coat the potato wedges with the seasoning mix.
  • Arrange wedges skin-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking pan, ensuring they're not overcrowded.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For maximum crispiness, soak potato wedges in hot water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch before drying and seasoning.
Store leftover wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
For a vegan option, replace Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast or vegan Parmesan.
Air fryer alternative: Cook at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway.
