• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Optional garnish: fresh parsley or extra Parmesan

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Potatoes
Cut each potato into wedges (about 8 per potato). Pat dry with paper towels to help them crisp up.

In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil. Add Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat.

4. Bake Until Golden
Arrange wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, skin side down. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

5. Serve Hot
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan before serving. Enjoy with marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
