Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

August 8, 2025

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.

      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.

  5. User avatar toshia.gutmann says:

    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.

    2. 3 stars
      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!

    1. 5 stars
      Cheesy? That’s a good thing! More cheese, more flavor, right?
