Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are crispy, flavorful potato wedges coated with savory garlic, nutty parmesan, and Italian herbs. This easy-to-make side dish is perfect for pairing with meats, veggies, or serving as a tasty snack, offering a healthier alternative to fried potatoes with rich, bold flavors and a satisfying crunchy texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 large russet potatoes

Seasonings & Flavorings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme blend)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into even wedges, roughly eight per potato, to ensure consistent cooking.
  2. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, grated parmesan, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper until all wedges are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange for Baking: Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the wedges aren’t touching to allow maximum crispiness.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through to ensure even browning on all sides.
  5. Serve Warm: Once golden and crispy, remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to lock in all the delicious flavors.

Notes

  • Pat your potato wedges completely dry before seasoning to help the oil and spices stick better.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup while promoting crispiness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; giving wedges room on the baking sheet lets hot air circulate and crisp the edges.
  • Flip the wedges halfway through baking to ensure even browning and texture on both sides.
  • For an extra cheesy crust, sprinkle fresh parmesan right after baking.
