Description

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve a crispy texture on the wedges.
  2. 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.
  3. Soak the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
  4. 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.
  5. Add the potato wedges to the oil mixture and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  7. Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip the wedges over for even cooking.
  9. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
  11. 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.
