Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (1 1/2 to 2 lbs), scrubbed and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting Board & Knife
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key to achieving that perfectly crispy exterior.
  2. Scrub and rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on your desired thickness.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fine sea salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the potato wedges in the oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows for maximum crispiness.
  5. Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once baked, remove the wedges from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately to enjoy their crispy goodness.

Notes

  • Swap the parmesan cheese for nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
  • Reduce the amount of olive oil if you're looking to cut down on calories.
  • Experiment with different spices like cumin or chili powder for a flavor twist.
