- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into evenly sized wedges. Place them in a large bowl and toss thoroughly with olive oil to ensure each wedge is coated.

Notes

- Russet potatoes work best due to their starchy texture that crisps up nicely when baked.
- You can substitute parmesan cheese with a vegan cheese alternative to make it dairy-free.
- Serve these wedges with your favorite dipping sauce such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
- Make sure to cut the wedges evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
