Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and scrub 3 large russet potatoes, then cut each into 8 wedges by slicing in half lengthwise and then into quarters.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp on the edges.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the hot wedges. Toss gently to coat and garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley before serving.
