1-Getting these baked garlic parmesan potato wedges just right starts with a few easy steps that anyone can handle. First, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to create that ideal hot environment for crisping up the edges. While the oven heats, wash and scrub the potatoes well to get rid of any dirt, setting the stage for flavorful results.

2-Next, cut each potato into even wedges, aiming for about eight pieces per potato so they bake uniformly. This helps avoid any uneven cooking and keeps things tasty all around. In a big bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper, then toss in the wedges to coat them thoroughly.

3-Arrange the wedges on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure they’re not crowded for better air flow and crispiness. Pop them in the oven for about 25 minutes, pull them out to sprinkle on the grated parmesan, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until they’re golden and the cheese is just right.

4-Finish by letting them cool a bit and serving them up fresh. This method works for dietary tweaks too, like using vegan cheese if needed. For more ideas on pairing, check out our candied yams recipe, which complements this dish nicely for a full meal.
