Ingredients:
- 4 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated. In a separate small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the potatoes: Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the potatoes and toss until each wedge is well-coated.
- Arrange and bake: Place the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
