Description
Looking for a savory, crispy, flavor-packed side dish that’s always a hit? These Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are everything you want in a potato recipe
Ingredients
- 3–4 medium Russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Optional additions:
- Paprika or cayenne for a touch of spice
- Extra parmesan for finishing
- Lemon zest for brightness
Instructions
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes well. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3–4 wedges depending on size. Try to keep them even for consistent baking.
In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Make sure each wedge is well-coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer, skin side down for the crispiest results. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the wedges for 35–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown, crispy on the outside, and fork-tender inside.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot as a side, snack, or appetizer.
These steps will yield crispy, cheesy, perfectly seasoned baked garlic potatoes every ti
Notes
- Soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat dry before seasoning
- Use a hot preheated baking sheet for a crispier bottom crust
- Avoid overcrowding the pan—leave space between each wedge to promote even browning
- Flip halfway through baking for even color and texture
