These crispy garlic Parmesan potato wedges are golden on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and packed with buttery garlic flavor. Every bite has the perfect crunch with cheesy seasoning that makes them impossible to stop eating straight from the pan.

Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes well, then cut each potato into wedges.
3. Pat the wedges dry with paper towels so they crisp up better.
4. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
5. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet with the skin side down.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley while hot.
8. Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.

Serving

Serve these potato wedges hot with ranch dressing, garlic aioli, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce. They’re perfect alongside burgers, steak, chicken, or as a cozy snack on their own.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crispy texture.

Tips

• Russet potatoes give the crispiest wedges.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking pan or the potatoes may steam instead of roast.
• Fresh Parmesan melts and crisps better than pre-shredded cheese.
• For extra crunch, broil the wedges for the last 2 minutes.

FAQ

Can I make these in the air fryer?

Yes. Cook at 400°F for about 18–22 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Why aren’t my wedges crispy?

Too much moisture or overcrowding the pan can prevent crispiness.

Can I add other seasonings?

Absolutely. Cajun seasoning, chili powder, or lemon pepper all taste amazing.

Do I need to peel the potatoes?

No. The skin adds extra texture and flavor.
