Baked Parmesan and Garlic Potato Wedges

We love these Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges!  So incredibly easy, you forget they are healthy.  Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside with a kick of cheesey garlic flavor!

I am a certified french fry freak!  I try not to order them…I open my mouth to say ‘side salad’ but ‘french fries’ comes out.   It’s the weirdest thing.   So rather than go into french fry therapy, I have to work them into my life.   And these beauties get my french fry fix on every time!

Do I look skinnier?  I am pretty sure I am skinnier…

How to make Baked Garlic and Parmesan

Potato Wedges

First things first.  How do you cut a ‘wedge’ from a potato?  Cut the potato in half lengthwise then tilt the potato just slightly to make the first wedge.  From there make your cut on the tip of the potato lengththwise.   Wedges!  But hey, even if you cut them in big strips, they are still gonna taste as good!

Line your baking sheet with parchment or foil for easy clean up.  Toss your taters with a little olive oil, fresh garlic, parmesan, salt and pepper.

If you want to add a twist, toss in a tablespoon or two chopped rosemary or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Bake for 25 minutes or until crispy.  If you have a convection feature in your oven, use that.  It helps to brown them up better.  Take a look after 15 minutes and give them a flip if you think they need it. Mine did not.

Serve them up with your favorite dip.  I love ranch dressing with fries…not on salads, just on fries!  I found a few yogurt based brands that are pretty good, keep that healthy french fry thing going! Mo skinny!

You can use any kind of potato with this easy recipe.  I used russets because they make big wedges, but I have made these with golds as well as reds.
