Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water and scrub their skins to remove any dirt. Keeping the skin helps achieve a delightful texture. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3 to 4 wedges according to your preferred thickness.

      Season the Wedges: In a spacious bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the potato wedges in this aromatic mixture, ensuring that each wedge is evenly coated in the seasoning blend.

        Incorporate the Parmesan Cheese: After seasoning, evenly sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese over the potato wedges. Toss gently once more to ensure the cheese adheres well to the wedges.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potato wedges out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space between each wedge. This will promote optimal crispiness during baking.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, carefully flip the wedges to ensure even cooking. They are ready when they achieve a golden-brown exterior and remain tender on the inside.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the potato wedges are perfectly baked, take them out of the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a pop of color and a hint of freshness. Serve immediately while they are piping hot and irresistibly crispy!
