How to Make Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges Step by Step

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes well, then cut them into thick, even wedges. Keeping them uniform helps them cook evenly.

Step 2: Season Generously

Place the potato wedges into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add garlic, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you’re using. Toss until every wedge is well coated — this is where the flavor magic begins.

Step 3: Arrange for Crispiness

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the wedges out in a single layer, skin-side down if possible. Crowding the pan is the fastest way to lose crispiness, so give them space!

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake for about 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through. When they’re golden and fork-tender, remove them from the oven.

Step 5: Add Parmesan

While the wedges are hot, sprinkle generously with grated parmesan. Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes until the cheese melts and turns slightly crispy.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. I’m kicking myself for not having shot these straight out of the oven — they disappear fast!

What to Serve with Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

These wedges are incredibly versatile.

They pair perfectly with burgers or grilled chicken Serve alongside steak or roasted vegetables Enjoy them with dipping sauces like ranch, aioli, or marinara Add them to a brunch spread with eggs and bacon

Honestly, they’re just as good eaten straight off the pan while standing in the kitchen — no judgment here!

How to Store and Reheat Potato Wedges

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat:

Oven: Bake at 400°F until heated through and crispy Air fryer: 3–5 minutes for quick crisping Avoid microwaving if possible, as it softens the wedges
