Description
Golden, crispy, and loaded with garlic-parmesan flavor, these baked potato wedges are the ultimate snack or side dish. Easy to make with pantry staples, they’re better than fries and pair perfectly with your favorite dipping sauces.
Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
¼ cup olive oil (or avocado oil)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Your favorite dipping sauce (ranch, marinara, spicy aioli, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut potatoes into evenly sized wedges: slice in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3–4 wedges.
Place wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
Add salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning; toss again until evenly coated.
Sprinkle in parmesan cheese and give a final toss to coat the wedges.
Arrange wedges skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 25–35 minutes, until golden brown and fork-tender. For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with dipping sauces.
Notes
For extra-crispy wedges, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 20–30 minutes before baking, then dry thoroughly.
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—use two trays if necessary.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
Freezer-friendly: Bake, cool, then freeze wedges on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen at 375°F until hot and crispy.
