You want potato wedges that are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. This easy, oven-baked recipe delivers restaurant-quality results using simple ingredients and a flavorful garlic parmesan seasoning blend. It is a perfect appetizer or side dish for any weeknight meal.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. This helps you get maximum crispiness.
  2. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 equal wedges. You do not need to peel the potatoes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with the olive oil until they are evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the oiled wedges and toss again until every wedge has seasoning.
  5. Arrange the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Do not let them touch. This step is key for crispy potato wedges.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the sheets from the oven. Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges. Gently toss the wedges on the pan.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them completely before oiling and seasoning.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add 1 teaspoon of garlic salt instead of plain salt.
  • These wedges pair well with ranch dressing or a simple sour cream dip.
