A crispy, savory snack that delivers on both flavor and comfort, these Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges transform ordinary potatoes into a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 large Russet potatoes
3 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Black pepper
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot environment for crispy wedges.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges, approximately 1-inch thick.
Place the cut potato wedges into a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel. This step is crucial for achieving crispiness.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Allow it to melt slightly before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot!
