FAQs
Can I use another type of potato for this recipe?
Yes, while russet potatoes are ideal for their starchy texture, Yukon Gold or red potatoes can also be used. Just keep in mind the texture and cooking time may vary slightly.
How can I make the wedges crispier?
Soaking the cut wedges in cold water before baking helps remove excess starch, resulting in a crispier texture. Also, make sure to space the wedges evenly on the baking sheet without overcrowding.

Ingredients
Potato Wedges
- 3–4 large russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning Mix
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent the wedges from sticking during baking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into even wedges to ensure uniform cooking. Place them in a large bowl for seasoning.
- Toss with Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss thoroughly to coat each wedge evenly with oil, which will help them crisp up in the oven.
- Season the Wedges: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning blend over the wedges, then add the shredded parmesan cheese. Toss again to distribute the seasoning and cheese evenly over all wedges.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay out the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, placing the skin-sides down to maximize crispiness on one side.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–35 minutes until the wedges turn golden brown and become fork-tender. Monitor towards the end to avoid burning and ensure perfect doneness.
- Optional Garnish: Once baked, optionally garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor before serving.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for the best texture and crispiness.
- Cut wedges evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- For extra crispiness, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking, then dry thoroughly.
- Parmesan cheese adds a tasty savory crust but can be omitted for a dairy-free option.
- Serve with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
