Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are a delightful side dish that can elevate any meal. They are crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Every time I make these potato wedges, I feel a rush of nostalgia thinking of family dinners at home.

My dad James used to whip up a huge batch of these crispy treats for our movie nights. The aroma filled the whole house, making us all hungry before we even sat down to watch the film. Those moments are some of my favorite memories!

Your Ingredients List

3-4 large russet potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

The Simple Steps to Follow

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Slice potatoes into wedges and place in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil to coat.
In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the potato wedges along with the parmesan cheese, tossing well to coat evenly.
Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet with skin-sides down.
Bake for 25–35 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Healthy Twists on a Classic

You can make these wedges with sweet potatoes for a healthier twist. Just adjust the baking time since sweet potatoes may cook faster. You could also try using less cheese or olive oil to reduce calories without sacrificing too much flavor.

Serving Suggestions From My Table

These baked potato wedges are perfect with a side of ranch dressing or garlic aioli for dipping. They go wonderfully with grilled chicken or alongside a fresh salad. You can also pair them with a hearty burger for a classic and satisfying meal.

Getting It Just Right

To achieve perfectly crispy potato wedges, remember to really coat them well with olive oil. Also, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; use two sheets if needed so that each wedge gets the heat it needs to crisp up nicely.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have any leftovers, let them cool completely before putting them in an airtight container. You can store them in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them back in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes until they’re hot and crispy again!

Enjoy Every Moment

Cooking is not just about making good food; it is about creating memories and sharing moments with those you love. So as you whip up these Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges, let the aroma fill your home and enjoy every bite of the deliciousness.
