• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and cut the potatoes into thin wedges (leave the skin on for extra crispiness).
3. Soak in cold water for 20-30 minutes to remove excess starch (makes them crispier!). Drain and pat dry.

Step 2: Season & Coat

4. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil.
5. In a separate bowl, mix Parmesan, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano.
6. Toss the potatoes in the seasoning mix until well coated.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

7. Arrange the wedges skin-side down on the baking sheet (don’t overcrowd them!).
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

9. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.
10. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
