The cooking process explained
Making Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges is a breeze and comes together in just a few steps. The process begins by prepping the potatoes—you’ll want to slice them into even wedges for uniform cooking. The magic happens when you coat them with olive oil, seasoning, and parmesan, allowing their flavors to meld as they bake. By the time they come out of the oven, you’ll have perfectly crispy and cheesy wedges that are sure to wow your taste buds.
What you’ll need
To make these tasty wedges, gather these ingredients:
- 3-4 large russet potatoes, sliced into wedges
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
Feel free to substitute russet potatoes with Yukon Gold if you’re looking for a creamier texture, or switch up the cheese for a different flavor profile altogether—like cheddar or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
