Ingredients

- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- Optional: fresh parsley (or cilantro) for garnish, ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set it aside.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Season the Wedges: In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the potato wedges, tossing to coat, and then sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over them.
- Bake: Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, skin-sides down. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown.
- Serve: Once baked, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping if desired.

Serving Tips
- Perfect Pairings: Serve Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges alongside your favorite entrees, such as grilled chicken, burgers, or steak. They also make a great appetizer for parties!
- Dipping Sauces: Enhance the flavor by offering a variety of dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese, ketchup, or a homemade garlic aioli. Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can also add a burst of color and flavor.
Storage Tips
- Refrigeration: Leftover potato wedges can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure they are completely cooled before sealing.
- Reheating: For best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness. You can also use an air fryer for a quick reheat.
- Freezing: While it’s best to enjoy them fresh, you can freeze the baked potato wedges. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from the freezer, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
