Make these oven roasted wedges crispy on the outside and tender inside. This easy potato side recipe features a strong garlic flavor balanced with salty Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large Russet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Cut the scrubbed potatoes lengthwise into eight wedges each. You do not need to peel them.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced fresh garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for maximum crispiness.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup) over the wedges. Gently toss them on the pan.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Remove from the oven, toss immediately with the remaining Parmesan cheese, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispy baked potato wedges, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely with paper towels. Moisture prevents crisping.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can increase the fresh garlic to 1.5 tablespoons.
  • These wedges pair well as a side dish for chicken wings or roasted meats.
