Creating these wedges is as effortless as the joy they bring. Follow these steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges.
3. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato wedges and toss until they are well coated.
4. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even baking.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Tip from my kitchen: For an extra crispy texture, try soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning. This helps remove excess starch.
