These crispy garlic parmesan potato wedges are a delightful twist on a classic side dish, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges.
Try to cut the wedges evenly for uniform cooking.
In a mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Ensure all wedges are well coated for maximum flavor.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding the wedges to allow them to crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip the wedges and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Flipping the wedges halfway ensures even browning.
Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the wedges are golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on the wedges during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
