Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp salt

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

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 the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and crispiness. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and then cut each half into wedges (about 6-8 wedges per potato).

      Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a flavorful oil mixture.

        Coat the Wedges: Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the oil mixture. Toss the wedges well, ensuring they are completely coated. Let them marinate in the seasoning for about 10 minutes for enhanced flavor.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. To ensure maximum crispiness, avoid overcrowding the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through. They are ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the wedges from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still hot. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of freshness. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
