Ingredients
  

For the Wedges
  • 4 large russet potatoes sliced into wedges
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with cooking spray. Set the sheet aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, smoked paprika, sea salt, ground black pepper, and olive oil. Mix these ingredients together.
  4. Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Pour the garlic mixture over the potatoes. Use your hands to toss the potatoes until they are fully coated with the mixture.
  5. Arrange the coated potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the skin side is facing down.
  6. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each potato wedge.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the wedges are fork tender.
  8. Garnish the baked wedges with the chopped parsley.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy wedges, ensure the potatoes are not overcrowded on the baking sheet. Use two sheets if necessary to allow space between the wedges.
