How to serve Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges
Crispy garlic parmesan potato wedges shine brightly on their own, but they can be even more delightful when paired with various dips. Serve them with ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or a zesty marinara sauce for an extra punch of flavor. They also make a fantastic side to grilled meats, burgers, or as a base for loaded potato wedges topped with chili and cheese for a comforting meal.
Storage and reheating tips
To keep your crispy garlic parmesan potato wedges fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes for that crispy texture, which is much better than using the microwave!
Helpful cooking tips
- Cut evenly: Try to slice your potato wedges uniformly for even cooking.
- Soak your potatoes: If time allows, soaking the wedges in cold water for 30 minutes can help achieve an even crispier texture.
- Oil and seasoning: Toss them well to ensure every wedge is coated; this mixes the flavors beautifully.
