Best ways to enjoy it
These crispy wedges can be served in so many delicious ways! For a simple appetizer, serve them with a side of marinara or ranch dressing for dipping.

How to store
Storing your leftover Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges is easy! Allow them to cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and pop them back in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes to restore their crispiness. If you want to freeze them, make sure they are completely cooled before packing them into a freezer-safe bag; they’ll stay fresh for about a month.
Helpful cooking tips
To achieve that perfect crispiness, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet, as this can trap moisture and lead to soggy wedges. Also, feel free to experiment with your spice blend! Adding a touch of paprika or cayenne pepper can give them a spicy kick.
Creative twists
Why not try a few variations to keep things exciting? You can add toppings like crispy bacon bits or fresh herbs to personalize the wedges. Consider swapping out the Parmesan for other cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a flavor twist. For those looking for a healthier approach, replace the olive oil with cooking spray for a lighter version while still enjoying the crispy texture.
