I love making garlic parmesan potato wedges because they are simple, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few basic ingredients, you can turn regular potatoes into a crunchy and flavorful treat. Whether you’re planning a casual dinner or a fun snack time, these wedges are sure to impress.
Description
For this recipe, I use medium-sized potatoes and sweet potatoes, which I peel and cut into wedges. I place the wedges in a zip-lock bag with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, and give them a good shake to ensure they are evenly coated. Then, I spread the potatoes in a single layer on a greased baking sheet and bake them for 20 minutes. After that, I flip the wedges, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic on top, and bake for another 20 minutes until they are tender and golden brown. The result is a dish that is both savory and satisfying with a delightful crunch and a burst of cheesy garlic flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Directions
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Cut the peeled potatoes and sweet potatoes into wedges.
- Place the wedges in a large zip-lock bag.
- Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Seal the bag and shake well until every wedge is evenly coated.
- Initial Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Add Toppings and Finish Baking:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the wedges.
- Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic over the potatoes.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the wedges are tender and golden brown.
- Serve:
- Remove the potato wedges from the oven and serve them hot.
Process Details
- Coating the Wedges: Shaking the potatoes in a bag ensures each wedge is well-coated with oil and seasonings, which is key for even cooking and crispiness.
- Single Layer Baking: Arranging the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet allows the hot air to circulate around them, resulting in a crunchier finish.
- Flipping for Even Browning: Flipping the wedges halfway through baking helps both sides become evenly browned and flavorful.
Tips for Success
- Even Cutting: Try to cut the potatoes into similar sizes so they cook at the same rate.
- Dry Thoroughly: If the potatoes are wet after peeling, pat them dry to ensure they crisp up nicely.
- Monitor the Oven: Keep an eye on the wedges during the final bake to prevent over-browning.
- Customize: Add extra garlic or a pinch of paprika for a spicier flavor if you like.
Serving Ideas
- As a Side Dish: These garlic parmesan potato wedges pair perfectly with grilled chicken, burgers, or steak.
- Snack or Appetizer: Serve them with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or ketchup for a delicious snack.
- Party Platter: They are a great addition to any party platter with other finger foods.
