Baked Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges

Recipe by Kelli Avila

These Baked Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges are crisp on the outside and tender in the center, with plenty of flavor and versatility that pairs well with many main dishes. Russet potatoes work best here and are seasoned simply with dried Italian herbs and garlic powder, then finished with fresh garlic and parmesan toward the end of roasting so the cheese melts and clings to the potatoes without burning.

  • Total Time55 minutes
  • YieldServes 4-6 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), scrubbed clean and dried
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (see note)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (see note)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the cleaned potatoes into 8 roughly even wedges.
  3. On the sheetpan, mix together the potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and garlic powder. Arrange the potato wedges on the pan, so each one is flat side down.
  4. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes, flipping the potato wedges halfway through.
  5. Add the garlic, parmesan cheese, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the sheet pan, and carefully combine with the potatoes. Return the potatoes to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the fries are crispy and the garlic is lightly golden and fragrant.

Notes

This recipe was tested using Diamond Crystal coarse kosher salt. If using Morton’s kosher salt or fine salt, you’ll need less by volume, so start with half and adjust to taste.

A good-quality Parmesan makes a difference here, since some lower-quality cheeses contain additives that may not melt as well when baked.

Want to amp up the flavor on these wedge fries? Sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs after they're cooked, such as chives, parsley, and thyme.
