Crispy and flavorful Baked Parmesan Potato Wedges are a perfect savory side dish or snack. These wedges are seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika, and parmesan cheese, then baked to golden perfection with crispy edges and tender centers.

Ingredients

Scale

Potato Wedges

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into small wedges to ensure even cooking and a good balance of crispy edges and soft interiors.
  2. Season the wedges: Place the potato wedges into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, olive oil, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl.
  3. Toss to coat: Using a large spoon or your hands, toss the potato wedges well to evenly coat them with the seasoning mixture. Make sure every wedge has a good layer of spices and cheese.
  4. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the coated potato wedges in a single, even layer on a baking sheet. This helps them bake evenly and develop crispy edges.
  5. Bake the wedges: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Check and flip the wedges every 20 minutes to ensure all sides become crispy and golden brown.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality.
  • Flipping the wedges halfway through baking ensures even browning.
  • Serve hot for optimum crisp texture.
  • Can be paired well with ketchup, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli.
