Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these baked garlic parmesan potato wedges are an easy, flavorful comfort food perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Salt to taste (sea salt or kosher salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Cut the potatoes into wedges by slicing each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges about ½-inch thick, keeping them uniform in size.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. Add garlic powder, minced fresh garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Toss again until evenly covered.
  5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and toss gently to coat without breaking the wedges.
  6. Spread the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges carefully halfway through (at about 15-20 minutes) to achieve a golden-brown, crispy exterior and tender interior.
  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispiness, finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes watching closely. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent sogginess. Flip wedges halfway through baking for even crisping. Can be made vegan by substituting parmesan with nutritional yeast or dairy-free cheese.
