You get restaurant-quality potato wedges that are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside using this simple oven-baking method. These wedges feature a bold garlic and Parmesan seasoning, making them an irresistible side dish or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. This step helps achieve maximum crispiness.
  2. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges. For best results, do not peel the potatoes.
  3. Soak the potato wedges in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch, which is key for crispiness.
  4. Drain the wedges completely and pat them very dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Moisture prevents crisping.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the dry wedges with olive oil until lightly coated.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the oiled wedges and toss to coat evenly.
  7. Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Do not overcrowd the pans; use two sheets if necessary.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes.
  9. Remove the pans from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the wedges. Add the minced garlic over the cheese.
  10. Return the wedges to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and very crispy on the edges.
  11. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly dust the oiled wedges with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch before adding the spice mix.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, substitute the garlic powder with 1 teaspoon of garlic salt in the initial seasoning mix.
  • These wedges pair well with ranch dressing or sour cream for dipping.
