Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness; cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into wedges (about 6-8 wedges per potato).

      Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until well combined.

        Coat the Potatoes: Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them in the spice mix until they are evenly coated. Ensure each wedge is covered thoroughly for maximum flavor.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. For extra crispiness, avoid overlapping.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside when done.

              Add Parmesan (optional): If you choose to use Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking for a delicious, cheesy crust.

                Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let the wedges cool for a minute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                  Enjoy: Serve your Crispy Cajun Potato Wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, spicy ketchup, or a zesty aioli.
