Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are a delicious side dish or snack, featuring tender potatoes tossed in a savory garlic and herb blend, baked until golden and crispy, and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve a crispy texture on the wedges.
- Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water, scrub gently, and pat dry. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-6 wedges for uniform sizes.
- Soak the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the potato wedges to the oil mixture and toss until evenly coated.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip the wedges over for even cooking.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
- Dig in and savor the crispy, cheesy goodness of these homemade potato wedges!
Notes
- For added heat, consider mixing in cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes with the oil mixture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes or in an air fryer.
