Extra virgin olive oil

Seasoning salt
1 teaspoon (Use as a seasoning)
Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for the potatoes.
2
Peel the medium-sized potatoes and cut them into even chunks or wedges. Don’t worry about them being perfectly shaped; the key is uniform size for even cooking.
3
Rinse the cut potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, which helps with crispiness. Drain them well and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
4
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the potatoes and toss them gently to coat evenly.
5
In a small bowl, combine the ground black pepper, seasoning salt, and Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning. Sprinkle this spice blend over the oiled potatoes and toss again to ensure a uniform coating.
6
Add the grated parmesan cheese and mix well to distribute the cheese across the potatoes.
7
Line a baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the pan, avoiding overcrowding.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning. Bake until crispy and golden brown according to your texture preference.
9
Optional: Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the wedges right before serving for a burst of freshness.
