- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- Optional: fresh parsley (or cilantro) for garnishing
- Optional: ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preparing the Baking Sheet
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set it aside for later use.
2. Seasoning the Potatoes
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to ensure all the wedges are evenly coated. In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the mixed spices over the potatoes, then add the shredded parmesan cheese, tossing everything together to coat evenly.
3. Baking
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, with the skin sides down. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown.
4. Garnishing and Serving
Once baked, remove the potato wedges from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve hot, paired with ranch or blue cheese dressing for an extra touch of flavor.
