Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges
Description
Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges feature large russet potatoes cut into wedges and tossed in olive oil for even roasting. They are seasoned with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt, then coated with shredded Parmesan cheese before baking on a greased sheet. Baking at 375°F allows the wedges to cook through to a tender center while forming a golden crust enhanced by the cheese. The wedges are positioned with skin-side down to promote crispness. After baking, fresh parsley can be sprinkled on top for color and a fresh note. The optional dipping sauces add a creamy contrast to the cheesy, garlicky potatoes.
The combination of garlic, Italian herbs, and Parmesan creates a balanced and savory flavor that complements the natural sweetness of the roasted potato. These wedges provide a comforting texture with crispy edges and a tender inside, making them easy to enjoy alongside many meals or as a tasty snack.
For serving, pair the wedges with your favorite dressings, such as ranch or blue cheese, or fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to enhance the presentation and taste. This versatility allows them to fit well with casual dinners or appetizer spreads.
These wedges should be baked until fork-tender and golden, usually 25-35 minutes. Using freshly grated Parmesan offers the best flavor and melt, but pre-shredded cheese can be substituted if needed.
