Ingredients for Crispy Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges:
4 large russet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Optional dipping sauce:
Ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes:
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, keeping the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
3️⃣ Season the Potato Wedges:
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano (optional), salt, and pepper. Toss the potato wedges in this seasoned olive oil mixture until they are evenly coated.
4️⃣ Add the Parmesan:
Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and toss again, ensuring each wedge gets a nice cheesy coating.
5️⃣ Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
Spread the potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the wedges are not overlapping to allow them to crisp up evenly. For extra crispiness, place the wedges skin-side down.
6️⃣ Bake the Potato Wedges:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. For an extra crispy finish, broil them for the last 2-3 minutes, but keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
7️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
