  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss them well to ensure every surface is coated.

  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
    2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  6. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the oiled potatoes and toss to coat, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the top and toss again.

  7. Arrange the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the skin-side is facing down for maximum crispiness.
  8. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese has turned a beautiful golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

To achieve the ultimate crunch, always dry your potatoes completely after washing them. For the best flavor, use freshly shredded parmesan rather than the powdered variety.
