Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Potato Wedges:
- Cut each russet potato into approximately 8 wedges for even cooking.
- Soak the wedges in cold water for 20-30 minutes to remove excess starch for extra crispiness.
- Drain and pat the wedges dry with a clean kitchen towel.
3. Season the Potatoes:
In a large bowl, combine:
- Olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the potato wedges and toss until evenly coated.
4. Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
Place the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, skin-side down.
5. Bake:
Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve:
Once baked, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch or garlic aioli.
