🍟 Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

🕒 Prep Time: 10 mins

🕒 Cook Time: 35–40 mins

🍽 Servings: 4

📝 Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes, washed and cut into wedges (about 8 per potato)

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor and color)

• 1/2 tsp dried oregano

• 1/2 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning

• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tbsp garlic paste)

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

• Extra Parmesan, for topping (optional)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat and prepare

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.

2. Cut the potatoes

• Scrub the russet potatoes well (leave the skin on for extra crispiness and nutrition).

• Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then each half into 3–4 wedges depending on size.

3. Season the wedges

• In a large bowl, mix:

  • Olive oil

  • Minced garlic

  • Salt, pepper

  • Garlic powder, onion powder

  • Paprika, oregano, thyme/Italian seasoning

• Add potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly until all pieces are coated evenly.

4. Add Parmesan

• Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and toss again to coat.

• Make sure the cheese sticks to the oiled surface of the potatoes.

5. Arrange and bake

• Place wedges skin-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.

  • The wedges should be golden, crispy, and tender when pierced with a fork.

6. Finish and serve

• Remove from oven and, while hot, sprinkle with extra Parmesan and fresh chopped parsley if desired.

• Serve warm with ketchup, garlic aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.

🔄 Variations:

• Use sweet potatoes for a slightly sweet, earthy version.

• Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

• Replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
