Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges 🥔
3 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 🌿
1 teaspoon smoked paprika 🌶️
½ teaspoon salt 🧂
½ teaspoon black pepper 🌟
For garnish (optional):
Fresh parsley, chopped 🌿
Extra Parmesan cheese 🧀
For dipping (optional):
Ranch dressing or garlic aioli 🥛
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. 🔥
2️⃣ Prepare the potato wedges:
Cut each potato into 8 wedges. For crispier wedges, soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat them dry. This removes excess starch. 🥔✨
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the wedges are evenly coated. 🧄🧀🌿
3️⃣ Arrange on the baking sheet:
Place the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down for maximum crispiness.
4️⃣ Bake the wedges:
Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your wedges. ⏳🔥
5️⃣ Garnish and serve:
Sprinkle the wedges with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce. 🧀🌿✨
