🛒 Ingredients
For the Potatoes:
4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
For Garnish:
Fresh parsley, chopped
Extra parmesan cheese
👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into wedges (about 6–8 pieces per potato). Try to keep them evenly sized for even cooking.
Step 2: Season the Wedges
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, and parsley. Toss well until all wedges are evenly coated.
Step 3: Add Parmesan
Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the potatoes and toss again. The cheese will help create a crispy, flavorful crust when baked.
Step 4: Arrange for Baking
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the wedges in a single layer, skin side down if possible. Avoid overcrowding, as this helps them crisp up better.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with extra parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve hot for the best taste and texture.
