Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized wedges (about 6-8 wedges per potato).

Step 3

Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 4

In a small microwave-safe dish, melt the butter. Stir in the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Spread the potato wedges evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

Step 6

Brush the seasoned butter mixture generously over the potatoes to coat each wedge thoroughly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 8

Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the hot potato wedges. Let the cheese melt slightly.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving and serve hot.
