Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes (or any waxy variety), peeled and cut into wedges
1/4 cup of olive oil, for a rich flavor and crispiness
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, offering a creamy, savory taste
2 teaspoons of garlic powder, enhancing the overall savoriness
1 teaspoon of onion powder, providing depth to the flavor profile
1 teaspoon of dried oregano, infusing an aromatic herb essence
1 teaspoon of dried thyme, adding a subtle earthiness
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is essential for achieving that crispy exterior.
Prepare the potatoes: Peel the 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into wedges, about 1 inch thick. This size allows for even cooking while maintaining a tender inside.
Season the potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste. Make sure every wedge is coated evenly for maximum flavor.
Arrange on a baking sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure there’s space between the wedges to allow air circulation for crispiness.
Bake to perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Flip the wedges halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning—look for a nice golden hue and crunchy texture.
Garnish and serve: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a splash of color and added freshness before serving.
