How to Make Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly (no need to peel).
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on thickness.
Step 2: Season the Wedges
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and toss again.
Step 3: Bake the Potatoes
- Arrange the seasoned potato wedges on the lined baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they’re not overlapping.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through for even crispiness.
- In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and let them crisp up.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
- Remove the wedges from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
