Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges Recipe
These delicious Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are the perfect side dish for any meal! Garlic parmesan roasted potatoes are easy to make and full of flavor.
Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and full of garlicky parmesan flavor. The garlic gives the potato wedges a sharp flavor, while the Parmesan cheese adds a creamy richness for a perfect combination. This combination of flavors makes potato wedges the best side dish.
Serve them alongside your favorite grilled chicken or fish, and you’ve got a meal that everyone will love.
- 1 1/2 lbs Russet Potatoes (approximately 3-4 large russet potatoes)
- 2-3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, as needed
- 1/3 cup Finely grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2-3 teaspoons Garlic Powder, as needed
- 1 teaspoon Salt, optional
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper, or to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Place a large pot of water on the stove and heat. Do not boil.
Meanwhile, slice all potatoes into even wedges.
Place the sliced raw potato wedges in the hot water and soak for 10 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and dry with paper towels.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl whisk seasonings together.
In a large bowl, add potatoes, oil and sprinkle potato wedges with seasoning mixture, turn to coat completely.
Place potato wedges on a prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Spread the wedges evenly on the baking tray to prevent overcrowding.
Bake for 22-28 minutes, flipping over halfway through the cooking time.
When you’re ready to eat, sprinkle the wedges with more Parmesan cheese while they’re still warm. I like this dish best when it’s served fresh from the oven and garnished with fresh parsley for that extra flavor!
Makes approximately 4 servings.
For the best way to cut potato wedges, you will need a sharp knife and a cutting board.
- First, cut the potato in half lengthwise.
- Then, cut each half into thirds, so that you have six long wedges.
- Finally, cut each of the wedges into thin slices by making evenly spaced cuts perpendicular to the previous cuts.
The best way to reheat potato wedges is to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then place the potato wedges on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. You could also use a microwave, but I find that they don’t always come out as crispy that way.

Every recipe I have ever read says to soak the potatoes in cold water to remove the starch. Hot water activates the starch. Why are you using hot water?
In the recipe it says to bake wedges at 450. In the “tips” it says they are better baked at 350. Which is correct?
