Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes

¼ cup olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a touch of heat)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easy, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Keep the skins on for added flavor and texture. Slice each potato into wedges, aiming for about 8 wedges per potato.

      Make the Coating: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, finely minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for heat. Whisk the ingredients together until you achieve a well-blended mixture.

        Coat the Wedges: Add the prepared potato wedges to the bowl with the seasoned oil. Gently toss the wedges until they are completely and evenly coated in the flavorful mixture.

          Add the Parmesan: Evenly sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the coated potato wedges. Toss everything together once more, ensuring the cheese adheres to the potatoes.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the wedges to the lined baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer. Make sure the wedges are spaced out to promote maximum crispiness while baking.

              Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wedges for 30-35 minutes. Be sure to flip them halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even golden-brown and crispy exterior.

                Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the wedges from the oven and sprinkle them with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve them warm with your choice of dipping sauces such as ranch, ketchup, or a creamy aioli.
