Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easier, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse and scrub the russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 4-6 equally sized wedges, depending on your preferred thickness. Thicker wedges will yield a softer interior, while thinner wedges will be crispier.

      Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them gently but thoroughly, ensuring each wedge is evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.

        Add Cheese: Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned potato wedges. Gently toss again to ensure that the cheese adheres to the wedges without clumping.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to leave some space between each wedge to allow for proper airflow, which is essential for achieving that perfect crispiness.

            Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the wedges for 25-30 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through the baking time to ensure that both sides get golden brown and deliciously crispy.

              Garnish and Serve: Once they are beautifully golden and crisp, remove the potato wedges from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before sprinkling them with the freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve your Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges hot and delightful! They pair wonderfully with dipping sauces such as aioli, ranch dressing, or even a homemade spicy mayo.
