Crispy Parmesan Crusted Potatoes

Ingredients

• Potatoes (2 pounds, cut into wedges)
• Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Dried thyme (1 teaspoon)
• Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
• Breadcrumbs (1 cup)
• Parmesan cheese (1 cup, grated)
• Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
3. In a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss to ensure each piece is well-coated.
4. Take each potato wedge and dip it into the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres properly.
5. Arrange the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through to achieve an even crust.
7. Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
