Ingredients

  • 3 large steak potatoes washed and peeled
  • 2 tbsps. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp. dry rosemary fine not too coarse
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • Fresh chopped parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Bring a pot with water to boil.
  • Meanwhile, wash, peel and slice the potatoes in half and then cut each half into 4 wedges (or more depending on the size of your potatoes.
  • Rinse the potatoes and add them to the boiling water. Parboil the potatoes. Time 5 minutes of cooking time and drain the potatoes from the hot water using a colander. Pour in to drain carefully so you don't break the potatoes.
  • Transfer the potatoes back to a large dish or bowl and add in the seasonings and olive oil. Toss together the wedges to coat well.
  • Line them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper leaving some space between each piece. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese on the potatoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  • Remove from the oven and let the potatoes cool down for a few minutes, then transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with some fresh chopped parsley or grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Use a preheated oven.
  • Slice the potatoes roughly the same size, so they cut evenly.
  • Be sure to pat the potatoes dry before adding seasoning.
  • Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, for easy removal and cleanup.
  • For a spicy kick, add some chili flakes to the wedges in the final few minutes of baking.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.
