Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 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)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is essential for achieving that crispy exterior.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
