### Why You’ll Love Crispy Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges
### Ingredients for Crispy Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges
– **4 medium russet potatoes** (washed and cut into wedges)
– **2 tbsp olive oil** (or vegetable oil)
– **1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese** (freshly grated works best for a rich flavor)
– **2 tbsp garlic powder** (or freshly minced garlic)
– **1 tsp dried oregano**
– **1/2 tsp paprika** (optional for a bit of smoky flavor)
– **Salt and freshly ground black pepper** to taste
– **Chopped fresh parsley** (optional, for garnish)
#### 1. **Preheat the Oven**:
– Preheat your oven to **425°F (220°C)**. This high temperature will help the potatoes crisp up nicely.
#### 3. **Season the Potatoes**:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the **olive oil**, **Parmesan cheese**, **garlic powder**, **oregano**, **paprika** (if using), **salt**, and **pepper**. Stir everything together to create the seasoning mixture.
– Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them gently to coat each wedge in the seasoning mixture. Make sure all the wedges are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
#### 5. **Bake the Wedges**:
– Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about **30-35 minutes**, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up evenly on both sides.
– The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. You can test the doneness by poking a wedge with a fork — it should be soft and tender.
6. **Garnish and Serve**:
– Once the wedges are perfectly crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with **chopped fresh parsley** for a touch of color and freshness.
– Serve immediately as a side dish, snack, or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauces.
