Description

These crispy yet fluffy potato wedges are baked, not fried, and seasoned with garlic and Parmesan for a flavor-packed snack or side dish. Perfect for any occasion, they’re easy to make and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

4 large Russet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes under running water. Slice them into wedges, aiming for uniform thickness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potato wedges in the mixture until well-coated.
Spread the wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wedges from the oven and immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over them. The residual heat will help the cheese melt slightly.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For best results, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure crispiness. Use fresh Parmesan for superior flavor and texture. Experiment with seasonings like smoked paprika or cayenne for a spicy twist.
