Introduction

Crispy Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges are a perfect side dish that combines crunchy edges with a savory, cheesy flavor. They are easy to prepare and make a delicious snack or accompaniment to your favorite meal.

The dish shows a white rectangular plate filled with several crispy potato wedges. Each wedge has a golden brown, crunch-textured outer layer with small bits of toasted garlic, green parsley flakes, and a light sprinkle of white cheese dusted evenly over the surface. The wedges are piled closely, filling the plate, with some wedges showing a soft, orange-yellow inside visible at the edges. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1½ lbs baby potatoes or fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
3 tbsp melted butter

2 tbsp olive oil
3–4 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp paprika

1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Toss the halved potatoes in the mixture until they are well coated.
Step 4: Arrange the potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Step 5: Bake for 30–35 minutes until the bottoms are crispy and golden brown.

Step 6: For extra crispiness on all sides, flip the wedges and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 7: Before serving, sprinkle the wedges with fresh chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Tips & Variations

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or red potatoes for a sweeter flavor.

For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
Try swapping Parmesan for Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
To make this recipe dairy-free, omit the Parmesan and use a little extra olive oil and garlic powder for flavor.

Storage

Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a 375°F (190°C) oven for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep them crunchy.

How to Serve

The image shows several golden brown potato wedges stacked on a long white plate. Each wedge has a crispy texture with a sprinkle of melted cheese that looks slightly browned on top. Bright green chopped herbs are scattered evenly over the wedges, adding a fresh color contrast. The edges of the wedges appear crunchy while the insides look soft and well-cooked. The plate sits on a white marbled surface, and a woman's hand is about to pick up one wedge. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular large potatoes instead of baby potatoes?

Yes, you can use large potatoes cut into wedges, but baking time may increase slightly. Just make sure the wedges are similar in size for even cooking.

How do I get the wedges extra crispy?

Make sure to coat the potatoes well with butter and oil, bake them cut-side down, and consider flipping them near the end of cooking to crisp all sides. Using a hot oven and a lined baking sheet also helps.
