Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges Crispy and Tasty
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried herbs until well combined.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the oil and spice mixture until all wedges are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the wedges with salt and pepper to taste and toss again.
- Place the coated potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the wedges from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot wedges so that it melts slightly.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes, just until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
