Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges | 4 large |
| Olive oil | 3 tablespoons |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Paprika | ½ teaspoon |
| Salt | ¼ teaspoon |
| Black pepper | ¼ teaspoon |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | ¼ cup |

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get ready for perfectly roasted potatoes.
Step 2: Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until each piece is coated evenly.
Step 3: Arrange for Roasting
Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they have space to crisp up.
Step 4: Bake the Potatoes
Roast the potatoes for 25–30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and tender inside.
Step 5: Add the Cheese
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the potatoes and return them to the oven for another 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and bubble.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips for Perfect Potatoes
- For extra crispiness, parboil the wedges for a few minutes before roasting.
- Experiment with other herbs like rosemary or thyme to elevate the flavor.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as sour cream, aioli, or ketchup.
