Irresistible Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges (Print version)

Crispy oven-baked potato wedges coated in garlic, parmesan, and Italian herbs. An easy, crowd-pleasing side dish ready in under an hour.

# Ingredients:

For the wedges

01 - 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
02 - 4 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1/2 cup (45 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese
04 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder
05 - 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
06 - 1 teaspoon paprika
07 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes and cut each one lengthwise into eight even wedges.
02 - Place the wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until every piece has a thin, even coat.
03 - Add the parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss again so the cheese and spices cling to all surfaces.
04 - Spread the wedges on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer with the skin side touching the pan. Leave space between each wedge so steam can escape.
05 - Roast for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are deeply golden and a fork slides in easily. The parmesan should look crisp, not just melted.
06 - Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley while they are still hot. Serve immediately with ranch or your favorite dip.

# Good to know:

01 - Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
02 - Skin-on wedges hold their shape better and add extra texture.
