Ingredients
  

Potatoes
  • 3-4 large Russet potatoes scrubbed and cut into wedges
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
Garlic Parmesan Coating
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash potatoes and cut them into uniform wedges. If desired, soak in cold water for 30 minutes and pat dry for extra crispiness.
  3. Place wedges in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.
  6. While potatoes bake, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and half of the parmesan cheese.
  7. Remove potatoes from oven, transfer to a bowl, and toss with the garlic butter mixture.
  8. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use a block of parmesan cheese and grate it yourself.
