Description
Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are a crispy, flavorful side dish that’s simple to prepare and always a hit. Seasoned with garlic, herbs, and a generous coating of Parmesan cheese, these oven-roasted wedges deliver a satisfying crunch without the need for frying. They’re perfect alongside burgers, chicken, or as a stand-alone snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredients
4 medium russet potatoes, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2 Wash and cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges, leaving the skin on. Pat them dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
3 In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until well coated.
4 Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and toss again, making sure the cheese sticks to the seasoned potatoes.
5 Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet with the cut sides facing down for better browning.
6 Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown, crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside.
7 Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
For best results, use starchy potatoes like russets, and ensure they are well-dried before seasoning. You can increase the garlic or cheese depending on your taste. These wedges are best served fresh from the oven but can be reheated in a hot oven or air fryer to revive their crispiness. Serve with ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli for dipping.
