Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges 

3 tablespoons olive oil 

3 cloves garlic, minced 

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 

1 teaspoon smoked paprika 

½ teaspoon salt 

½ teaspoon black pepper 

For garnish (optional):
Fresh parsley, chopped 

Extra Parmesan cheese 

For dipping (optional):
Ranch dressing or garlic aioli 

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. 


Cut each potato into 8 wedges. For crispier wedges, soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat them dry. This removes excess starch. 



In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the wedges are evenly coated. 






Place the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down for maximum crispiness.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your wedges. 




Sprinkle the wedges with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
