Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasoning Mix
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Topping and Garnish
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for crispy baking.
- Make Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika, mixing well to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat Potatoes: Add the potato wedges to the seasoned olive oil mixture and toss thoroughly until all wedges are evenly coated.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow even cooking and crisping.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potato wedges to add a rich, savory flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through the baking time to ensure all sides become golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh herbal note.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly.
- You can adjust the amount of garlic and paprika to suit your taste preferences.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated for best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to turn the wedges halfway through baking to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
