Make potato wedges that are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside using this reliable oven-baked recipe seasoned with garlic and Parmesan cheese. This is the best potato wedges recipe for a satisfying side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large Russet potatoes, washed and dried
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Do not skip the parchment paper for best results.
  2. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 equal wedges. You should have 16 wedges per potato.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with the olive oil until they are lightly coated.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. This is your seasoned coating.
  5. Add the oiled potato wedges to the flour mixture. Toss well until every wedge is completely and evenly coated. This flour coating helps create the crispy exterior.
  6. Arrange the coated wedges on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Make sure the wedges do not touch each other; crowding the pan causes steaming, which prevents crispiness.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the wedges over carefully.
  8. Return the sheets to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potato wedges are golden brown and very crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For the absolute crunchiest potato wedges, soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them thoroughly. Pat them completely dry with paper towels before oiling.
  • If you prefer an air fryer potato wedges method, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • These seasoned potato wedges pair well with a simple ranch or a spicy aioli for dipping.
