You get restaurant-quality, crispy potato wedges baked in your oven. These wedges are soft inside, golden outside, and coated in savory garlic and Parmesan flavor, making them a perfect easy side dish or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cut each potato lengthwise into eight wedges. For maximum crispiness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain them completely.
  3. Dry the potato wedges thoroughly using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial for crispiness.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the dry wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Do not overcrowd the pans; use two sheets if necessary.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the sheets from the oven and flip each wedge.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the hot wedges from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them and toss gently to coat.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve these homemade potato wedges immediately.

Notes

  • Soaking the potatoes removes excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier exterior when baking.
  • Drying the potatoes completely before oiling prevents steaming and promotes browning.
  • For an extra crunchy texture, you can toss the wedges in a light coating of cornstarch after oiling but before seasoning.
  • These wedges pair well with ranch or sour cream dips.
