Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

¼ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best)

2 tablespoons truffle oil (adjust to taste)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Freshly cracked black pepper and extra Parmesan for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into even wedges (about 8 wedges per potato). If you prefer, you can leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor.

      Soak the Potatoes (Optional): For crispier wedges, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes. This removes excess starch. After soaking, drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

        Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato wedges and toss until evenly coated.

          Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the potato wedges and toss again until they are well-coated. The cheese will add a delicious savory flavor and help make them crispy.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overcrowded. This helps with even cooking and crispiness.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up evenly. They should be golden brown and crispy on the edges when done.

                Finish with Truffle Oil: Once the wedges are baked, remove them from the oven and drizzle the truffle oil over them while they are still hot. Toss gently to distribute the oil.

                  Garnish and Serve: Transfer the potato wedges to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. For an extra touch, add a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm as a perfect side dish, appetizer, or snack that’s better than conventional fries! Pair with your favorite dipping sauce for an added kick.
