Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

Instructions

1. Prepare the potatoes
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges, about 1/2 inch thick. Place them in a large bowl and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2. Season the potatoes
   In the bowl with the potatoes, add olive oil, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until all potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
3. Add the first layer of cheese
   Add 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and toss again to coat the potatoes evenly, ensuring the cheese sticks to the seasoned potatoes.
4. Arrange and bake
   Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, making sure they don't overlap. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the bottoms start to turn golden brown.
5. Add final cheese layer
   Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip each potato wedge. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden, and the potatoes are crispy and cooked through.
6. Garnish and serve
   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
