Ingredients

For the wedges:

• 4 medium potatoes (russet or yellow potatoes)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced or finely grated)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Optional garnishes:

• Fresh parsley (chopped)
• Extra parmesan for topping 

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash the potatoes and dry them thoroughly. Slice them into wedges by cutting each potato lengthwise into quarters, then into eighths.

3. Season the Potatoes

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss the potato wedges in the mixture until fully coated.

4. Add Parmesan Cheese

Sprinkle the grated parmesan over the seasoned wedges and toss gently to distribute evenly.

5. Bake the Potatoes

Arrange the wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer, with the cut sides facing down for maximum crispiness. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

6. Garnish and Serve

Once baked, sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or spicy mayo.

Pro Tips for Crispy Wedges

• Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 20–30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch. Pat dry thoroughly before seasoning.
• Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even baking and crispiness.
• For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix.

Conclusion
These crispy baked garlic parmesan potato wedges are a simple yet flavorful dish that works for any occasion. Their crisp texture and savory seasonings make them irresistible. Pair them with your favorite dips for a perfect treat.
