How to Make Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges
Ingredients:
- 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.
