Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large russet potatoes, cut into wedges These starchy and creamy potatoes promise a fluffy interior and crispy skin.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil This vibrant golden oil imparts a rich, fruity flavor while ensuring crispy surfaces.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced The pungent aroma of fresh garlic adds depth and a savory kick to each bite.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Nutty and slightly salty, this cheese enhances the wedges, creating a delightful crispiness.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano Earthy and aromatic, oregano offers a rustic touch that complements the potatoes.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Its warm, smoky flavor gives a subtle depth and a hint of color.
  • to taste salt and pepper Essential enhancers for amplifying the flavors.
  • for garnish Fresh parsley, chopped This vibrant green herb adds a pop of color and a fresh note to finish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). The warm air will create the crispy texture we’re aiming for.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and stir gently until each wedge is generously coated.
  5. Spread the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each wedge.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through.
  2. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and return to the oven.
  3. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
  4. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Tips for achieving the perfect balance between crispy and tender include using large russet potatoes and uniformly cutting the wedges. Coat them thoroughly for optimal flavor.
