Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium russet potatoes
Seasonings and Toppings
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the potato wedges perfectly.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice each potato into thick wedges to hold their shape during baking.
- Toss the wedges: In a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges, then add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss everything together until the wedges are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the potato wedges out in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded for even baking and crispiness.
- Bake the wedges: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time to promote even golden browning and crispiness.
- Finish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese over the hot wedges before serving. Allow them to cool slightly so they crisp up further, then enjoy your delicious baked garlic Parmesan potato wedges.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking.
- Feel free to substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as garlic aioli or marinara.
- Leftover wedges can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
