Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water, then pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into even wedges or thick slices, ensuring uniform thickness for even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

Step 5

Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap for optimal crispness.

Step 7

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking with a spatula to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.

Step 8

Optional: Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while they are still hot for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite dipping sauce or main course. Enjoy!
