Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes (unpeeled, scrubbed, washed, and dried)
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tsps salt
- 2 tsps Italian seasoning
- 2 tsps garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preparation: Meticulously cleanse russet potatoes, removing all surface moisture, then slice into eight symmetrical wedges with precision.
- Seasoning Fusion: Combine melted unsalted butter and extra virgin olive oil, creating a luxurious coating that will enhance the potato’s texture and flavor profile.
- Spice Infusion: Craft a dynamic seasoning blend incorporating kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, Italian herb blend, granulated garlic, smoked paprika, and onion powder, massaging thoroughly into each potato wedge.
- Strategic Positioning: Arrange wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet, strategically spacing to maximize crispiness, then generously shower with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Roasting Technique: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius), roast for 35 minutes, rotating midway to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration and crisp exterior.
- Finishing Flourish: Activate broiler for final two minutes, achieving caramelized edges, then garnish with additional Parmesan and finely chopped parsley for visual appeal and flavor enhancement.
- Serving Recommendation: Present immediately while piping hot, offering a tantalizing side dish or appetizer that promises a delightful culinary experience.
Notes
- Potato Preparation Precision: Pat potatoes completely dry to guarantee maximum crispiness and prevent soggy results.
- Strategic Seasoning Technique: Massage seasonings thoroughly to ensure every inch of potato wedge absorbs maximum flavor profile.
- Baking Sheet Spacing Strategy: Arrange wedges with minimal overlap to allow hot air circulation, creating uniformly crispy exterior.
- Broiler Boost Trick: Activate broiler in final minutes to transform wedges into golden-brown, caramelized perfection with irresistible crunchy edges.
