Golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender inside – these Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are everything you love about comfort food, made easy in the oven. They’re the perfect sidekick for any meal or a satisfying snack on their own. Plus, that cheesy garlic coating? Unforgettable!
📝 Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ⅔ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
- Ranch or marinara for dipping (optional but amazing)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2️⃣ Scrub the potatoes and cut them into wedges (about 6–8 wedges per potato depending on size).
3️⃣ In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, then sprinkle in salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
4️⃣ Add Parmesan cheese and mix until every wedge is coated in cheesy goodness.
5️⃣ Arrange the wedges in a single layer, skin side down, on the baking sheet.
6️⃣ Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway if you want both sides extra crisp, until golden and fork-tender.
7️⃣ Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
💡 Tips for Extra Crispy Wedges
- Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch. Pat them dry well before seasoning!
- Use freshly grated Parmesan – it melts and crisps better than pre-shredded.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan – give each wedge some space!
