Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup sour cream for dipping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Begin by setting your oven to preheat at 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easier, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Clean the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water, scrubbing the skins as needed. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then, slice each half into 4 to 6 wedges depending on your size preference.

      Season the Wedges: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk the mixture together until all ingredients are well blended.

        Coat the Wedges: Carefully add the potato wedges to the seasoned oil mixture. Gently toss the wedges until they are evenly coated on all sides, ensuring they are thoroughly seasoned.

          Bake the Wedges: Arrange the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes. Remember to flip the wedges halfway through baking for even crispiness, until they achieve a delightful golden brown color and a crispy texture.

            Add the Cheese: Once baked, take the wedges out of the oven. Evenly sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top of each wedge. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, just until the cheese melts and is bubbling.

              Garnish and Serve: When the cheese is beautifully melted, pull the wedges from the oven. Add a sprinkle of finely chopped green onions on top for a burst of freshness. Serve these cheesy delights hot, paired with a side of sour cream for dipping if desired.
