Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Wash potatoes thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels.

Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 uniform wedges, leaving skin on.

Place potato wedges in large bowl and cover with cold water.

Let potatoes soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Drain potatoes thoroughly and pat completely dry with clean towels.

In small bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, and minced garlic.

Add garlic powder and roasted garlic paste to oil mixture.

Drizzle garlic oil mixture over dried potato wedges and toss well.

In separate bowl, mix Parmesan, Romano, and Pecorino cheeses together.

Combine salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder in small bowl.

Add panko breadcrumbs, cornstarch, and semolina to cheese mixture.

Stir in fresh rosemary, thyme, and Italian seasoning blend.

Sprinkle seasoning blend over oiled potatoes and toss to coat.

Add cheese and breadcrumb mixture, tossing until evenly coated.

Arrange potato wedges in single layer on prepared baking sheets.

Make sure wedges don't touch to ensure even browning and crispness.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking time.

Continue baking until golden brown and crispy on all surfaces.

Test doneness by piercing with fork - should be tender inside.

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Add extra Parmesan cheese while wedges are still hot for melting.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow crisping to set.

Serve immediately with prepared dipping sauces on the side.

Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and lemon wedges for presentation.
