Table of Contents
ToggleIngredients
For the Potatoes:
- 3 large yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 60 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 30-40 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 50 grams olive oil
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick wedges. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Mix the Coating
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
3. Coat the Potatoes
- Drizzle the potato wedges with olive oil, ensuring they are lightly but evenly coated.
- Add the potatoes to the breadcrumb mixture, tossing them gently until each wedge is fully coated with the seasoned crumbs.
4. Arrange and Bake
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Place the coated potato wedges on the sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
5. Serve
- Once the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These potatoes pair wonderfully with a side of sour cream, a light salad, or even as a standalone snack.
