Ingredients
- Potatoes: 4 medium russet potatoes (peeled and cut into wedges)
- Olive Oil: 3 tablespoons (for coating)
- Parmesan Cheese: 1/2 cup grated (freshly grated for best flavor)
- Panko Breadcrumbs: 1/2 cup
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Dried Oregano: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1 teaspoon (or to taste)
- Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon (freshly ground)
- Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish, optional)
- Lemon: 1, cut into wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes (if preferred) and cut them into wedges. Make sure the wedges are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- Coat the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until they are well coated. Add the grated parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure not to overcrowd them for maximum crispiness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender inside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness (optional). Enjoy your crispy golden parmesan crunch potatoes!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
- If you prefer a more intense parmesan flavor, you can increase the amount of parmesan cheese.
- Feel free to use different herbs such as thyme or rosemary to customize the flavor.
- These potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven to restore their crispiness.
