Crispy garlic parmesan potato wedges bring rustic Italian flavors to your table. Home cooks can easily create this golden, savory side dish with simple ingredients and straightforward techniques.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
- ⅓ cup (79 ml/2.7 fl oz) grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup (59 ml/2 fl oz) olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to 400F (200C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the surface.
- Potato Transformation: Slice potatoes into 6-8 substantial wedges, depositing them into a capacious mixing bowl for seasoning choreography.
- Flavor Infusion: Whisk olive oil with garlic, oregano, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Lavishly coat potato wedges, massaging the seasoning to ensure complete flavor absorption.
- Cheese Coating: Generously dust wedges with grated Parmesan, tumbling gently to create an even, crispy exterior that promises delectable crunch.
- Roasting Technique: Arrange wedges on the baking sheet without overcrowding, maintaining space for optimal crispness. Roast for 35-40 minutes, rotating midway to ensure uniform golden-brown perfection.
- Final Flourish: Remove from the oven when wedges achieve a magnificent crisp texture. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
- Serving Suggestion: Plate immediately and accompany with preferred dipping sauces like ranch, ketchup, or garlic aioli for a complete culinary experience.
Notes
- Maximize Potato Crispness: Cut wedges uniformly to ensure even cooking and guarantee a perfectly crispy exterior without soggy sections.
- Seasoning Technique: Massage oil and spices thoroughly into potato wedges, allowing each piece to absorb maximum flavor and create a rich, consistent coating.
- Prevent Sticking Strategy: Use parchment paper or cooking spray to guarantee easy removal and prevent wedges from clinging to the baking sheet during roasting.
- Dietary Adaptation Tip: Swap regular Parmesan for nutritional yeast to create a delicious vegan version that maintains the cheesy, savory profile of the original recipe.
