Description
Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. Coated in a garlic-Parmesan seasoning and baked to perfection, these wedges are a healthier alternative to fried potatoes and make a great side dish or snack.
Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or thyme)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut them into wedges by slicing the potato in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 4-6 wedges.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure they don’t overlap.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
Notes
For extra flavor, add chili powder, cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
Swap Parmesan for Asiago, Romano, or cheddar cheese for a different cheesy flavor.
For a richer version, toss the wedges in melted garlic butter instead of olive oil.
For a fresh twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the seasoning mix.
