Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Cut the Potatoes:
- Slice each potato into 6-8 wedges, depending on size. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and toss again to evenly distribute.
- Bake:
- Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down for maximum crispiness.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the wedges from the oven and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, garlic aioli, or ketchup.
Tips for the Best Potato Wedges
- Soak in water: For extra crispy wedges, soak the raw potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat them dry before seasoning.
- Use a convection setting: If your oven has a convection feature, use it to enhance crispiness.
- Don’t overcrowd: Ensure the wedges are spaced out on the baking sheet so they roast instead of steaming.
These Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are an irresistible combination of crispiness, flavor, and comfort. Perfect for parties, family dinners, or as a satisfying snack! 🥔🧄🧀
