Description

Deliciously crispy Parmesan and Garlic Baked Potato Wedges, seasoned with a blend of garlic, Italian herbs, and topped with grated Parmesan cheese. These oven-roasted wedges are a perfect savory side dish that pairs well with your favorite dipping sauces.


Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, cut into wedges

Seasoning & Coating

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Toppings & Garnish

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Optional: marinara or ranch for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Potato Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until all wedges are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them skin side down to help them crisp up nicely.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the wedges to add a flavorful, golden crust when baked.
  5. Bake the Wedges: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispness and browning on all sides.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once golden brown and crispy at the edges, remove the wedges from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with optional marinara or ranch dipping sauces.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wedges, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking to remove excess starch.
  • Dry the potato wedges thoroughly after soaking to ensure they crisp nicely in the oven.
  • You can adjust the garlic and Parmesan amounts according to your taste preference.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
