Indulge in the delightful crunch of Crispy Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges that are perfect for any occasion. These golden, savory wedges are a guilt-free treat that will have everyone coming back for seconds!
Ingredients
- russet potatoes (or Yukon gold potatoes)
- olive oil (or cooking spray or avocado oil)
- fresh minced garlic (or garlic powder)
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese (or pre-grated cheese)
- salt
- black pepper
- Italian seasoning
- smoked paprika (optional)
- fresh herbs like parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but it's recommended to keep the skin for added texture and nutrients. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and then into wedges (about 6-8 wedges per potato).
- In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until well-coated.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the seasoned wedges and toss again to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the potato wedges in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. For an extra touch, sprinkle some additional Parmesan and fresh herbs like parsley if desired.

Keywords: Aim for uniform wedges for even cooking. Soaking the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes can help remove excess starch for a crispier outcome. Experiment with different seasonings and serve with dips like ranch or garlic aioli.
