Crispy and flavorful, these Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are the perfect side dish for any meal. Coated with garlic and Parmesan cheese, they are baked to golden perfection.
Few side dishes can compete with the irresistible combination of crispy potatoes, savory garlic, and rich Parmesan cheese. Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges take this winning trio and turn it into a snack or side that’s perfect for game days, casual dinners, or anytime you crave something hearty and flavorful.
The magic of this dish lies in its simplicity. Fresh potatoes, sliced into thick wedges, create the perfect balance between a soft, fluffy interior and a crispy golden exterior. Leaving the skins on adds both rustic charm and extra texture, while also providing more nutrients.
Garlic is the flavor anchor here. Whether using freshly minced cloves for a bold punch or garlic powder for a milder, more even coating, it blends beautifully with olive oil to ensure each wedge is seasoned to perfection. Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty depth that enhances the potatoes without overpowering them. Using freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-shredded gives a richer flavor and helps the cheese melt and cling to the wedges as they bake.
The key to getting that perfect crispness is spreading the wedges out in a single layer on the baking sheet, allowing hot air to circulate around each piece. Roasting at a high temperature ensures golden edges and a tender inside, while flipping them midway through cooking ensures even browning.
Once baked, the wedges can be finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives for a touch of color and freshness. They pair wonderfully with dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or aioli, but they’re flavorful enough to be enjoyed on their own.
Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges are more than just a side dish, they’re a versatile comfort food that fits any occasion. They can accompany a juicy burger, complement grilled chicken, or be served as a satisfying appetizer for guests.
Whether enjoyed fresh from the oven or reheated for a quick snack, their crispy exterior, fluffy center, and bold, savory flavor make them an instant favorite at the table.

Totally delicious! My kids loved it and asked for more! Thank you for this easy recipe!
So glad your kids loved it! These wedges are a hit in my house too!
These potato wedges were a hit at my party! So crispy and flavorful. Will definitely make again!
YUM!!! Pure comfort food. Love these wedges with a side of ranch dip. 😍
Totally agree! Ranch makes everything better. 🤤
I don’t know, isn’t too much garlic powder bad for you? 🤔
I had to modify the recipe because I didn’t have Parmesan. Used cheddar instead. Not bad but not the same.
Just okay. They came out kind of soggy for me. Maybe I didn’t bake them long enough. 🤔
Garlic powder?? Aren’t we supposed to use fresh garlic? This is not authentic!
I actually think garlic powder works great! It gives it a nice flavor without the hassle of peeling garlic. Plus, it’s more convenient.
Fresh garlic is better, for sure. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! Not everyone has fresh garlic at home all the time.
Meh, I think they tasted nice but my boyfriend said they were too cheesy. How can that be a thing? LOL!
Cheesy? That’s a good thing! More cheese, more flavor, right?
Your boyfriend might not be a big cheese fan! 😂 I love cheese, so I’d be all for it!
Wht did u bake them for so long? I did 20 mins and they burnt. Recipe needs to be clearer.
Potatoes? Garlic? Parm? What’s not to love! Perfect snack!
Totally agree! These wedges are like heaven. Can’t wait to make them for my movie night!
I forgot the parsley. Still tasted great tho! Guess it’s okay without it.
Easy to make and tastes great! I added some chili flakes for a kick. Will definitely make again!
Delicious but I added some chili powder for a kick. Yummy!
Is it really 30-40 minutes? Mine took way longer. Ugh!
What if I don’t have Parmesan? Can I use cheddar instead? Asking for a friend. 🤔
Just okay. I think they could be seasoned better. Needs some heat!
I totally agree! They could use a kick. Maybe some cayenne or chili flakes next time!
Nah, I think they’re perfect as is! Sometimes less is more, ya know?
Y’all, my wedges ain’t looking like the picture. What did I do wrong? 😩
So good! 😍 I could eat them every day.
I think they need more garlic. Didn’t taste enough garlic for me.
I guess everyone has their own taste, but I think the garlic powder is just right. Sometimes less is more!
More garlic? Seriously? You do know there’s a thing called too much garlic, right? LOL!
These are fantastic! My kids loved them, and they were so easy to make.
I dunno, mine turned out kinda soggy. Maybe I didn’t bake them long enough? Idk…
These were amazing! So crispy and flavorful. A total hit at my party!
Garlic + Potatoes = best snack EVER!!!
Totally agree! Garlic and potatoes make such a great combo. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
