A perfect blend of crispy edges, creamy centers, and bold flavor—these Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are the ultimate comfort food side. Easy to prepare, bursting with garlic, herbs, and cheese, and absolutely addictive.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into wedges
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Extra Parmesan cheese, for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Make the Seasoning Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Mix until fully blended.
3. Coat the Potatoes
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss well, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
4. Arrange and Bake
Place the wedges skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden-brown, crispy on the outside, and fork-tender inside.
5. Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with extra Parmesan and chopped parsley while hot.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce—ranch, garlic aioli, or ketchup.
