Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Cut potatoes into thick wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).
  3. Soak the wedges in cold water for 30 minutes (optional, but helps make them crispier). Drain and pat dry.
2. Season & Bake
  1. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano.
  2. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
3. Make the Garlic Parmesan Coating
  1. While the fries are baking, mix melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  2. Once the fries are done, toss them in the garlic butter mixture, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
4. Serve & Enjoy
  1. Serve hot with ranch, aioli, or ketchup for dipping!
Air Fryer Method
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Toss the fries in seasoning and cook in batches for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Storage & Reheating

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes or in an air fryer for 5 minutes to crisp them up again.

Notes


  • Swap Parmesan for Pecorino Romano for a sharper cheese flavor.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick!
  • Want them extra crispy? Broil for the last 2–3 minutes of baking.
