When it comes to comfort food that’s both easy to prepare and full of flavor, Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are hard to beat. These wedges bring the best of both worlds: crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. Whether you're serving them as a side dish or a snack, these potato wedges will win over any crowd. Imagine golden-brown potato wedges coated in a savory blend of garlic, Italian herbs, and Parmesan cheese—this is the kind of dish that turns ordinary meals into memorable experiences.

Why Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges Stand Out

There’s something about the combination of garlic, herbs, and parmesan that elevates the humble potato into a culinary star. These wedges are seasoned with Italian herbs and garlic powder, then baked until perfectly crispy, making them both healthier and tastier than traditional fried versions. The Parmesan cheese adds a rich, nutty flavor that pairs wonderfully with the starchy potatoes, while a garnish of fresh parsley or cilantro provides a refreshing contrast.

These wedges are perfect as an appetizer for game days, a side dish for family dinners, or even a snack when you’re craving something savory. The best part? They are baked, not fried, which means you can indulge without guilt.

Recipe: Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

Ingredients:

• 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
• 4 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
• ½ cup of shredded parmesan cheese
• Optional: Fresh parsley or cilantro, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Grease a large baking sheet to ensure the potato wedges don’t stick during baking.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Slice the russet potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl. Drizzle the wedges with olive oil, tossing them to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
3. Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the potato wedges, ensuring each wedge gets an even coating.
4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Next, add the shredded parmesan cheese to the bowl, tossing the wedges gently so the cheese is evenly distributed.
5. Baking Process: Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the greased baking sheet, making sure the skin sides are down. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the wedges are tender and golden brown.
6. Finishing Touch: Once out of the oven, garnish the hot wedges with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing, for added flavor.
