Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
Seasoning & Coating
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the potatoes to a crispy golden finish.
- Prepare the Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika, creating a flavorful coating for the potatoes.
- Coat the Potatoes: Add the peeled and cut potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated potatoes, then toss again to distribute the cheese evenly, adding a crispy cheesy layer when baked.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet ensuring they are not overcrowded to promote even crisping.
- Bake the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
- Serve Hot: Once baked to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crunchy for the best taste.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the potatoes are spread evenly and not overlapping on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute paprika with smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melt and texture.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a hot oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
