instructions
    1

    Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). This will ensure your potato wedges get nice and crispy.

    2

    While the oven is heating up, wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on will add extra flavor and texture.

    3

    Cut each potato into wedges by slicing them lengthwise into quarters, or more if you want thinner wedges.

    4

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

    5

    Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them generously in the oil mixture until they are evenly coated.

    6

    Spread the coated wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they aren’t overlapping for the best crispiness.

    7

    Bake the potato wedges in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.

    8

    Once they are golden brown and crispy, take them out and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top while they are still hot.

    9

    Allow them to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with your favorite dipping sauce!

How to be creative
  • Add various spices such as cayenne pepper or Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
  • Serve with a variety of dipping sauces such as ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy ketchup.
  • Try using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a delicious twist!
Important Tips
  • For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps remove excess starch.
  • Make sure to spread the wedges out on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
  • You can sprinkle additional herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor.
