Parmesan Roasted Potato Wedges

Parmesan Roasted Potato Wedges are golden crispy seasoned fries with just the right amount of cheese. A terrific side dish to enjoy with your meal that’s nothing short of awesome. So good, you can’t have just one!

This recipe came about using my homemade Italian dressing tossed with potato wedges and topped with some grated Parmesan. It was something I whipped up on a whim one night and boy oh boy was it a winner. The family went nuts over them and for good reason; they were delicious.

I wanted to break down the recipe for a quick easy prep. This isn’t a recipe that uses pounds of cheese to entice you. This recipe is good on it’s own.

Slice the potato into wedges…

Usually, there is a fat side and a skinny side to the potato. Slice the potato on the skinny side to allow a wider half allowing for 3 good-sized wedges.

It’s in the seasonings…

How can you go wrong with garlic, onion, oregano, salt, and pepper? You can’t! The potatoes are tossed with olive oil and a little vinegar to brighten up the flavor. Then they’re coated with the seasonings and Parmesan cheese and placed on a baking sheet (affiliate link). A little more Parmesan is sprinkled on top and then into the oven they go for about 40 minutes.

Don’t leave all that goodness in the bowl…

When transferring the potatoes onto the baking sheet, please, please, please, make sure you scrape up all that seasoning that’s stuck on the bowl and scatter it onto the potatoes.

To line, or not to line…

I have baked these on both a greased and parchment (affiliate link) lined baking sheet. I experienced no problems with the potato wedges sticking to the pan when parchment wasn’t used because 1 tablespoon of the olive oil was used to grease the pan. However, because ovens vary, I do recommend lining with parchment or use a nonstick baking sheet just in case. You don’t want to risk having the potato wedges stick to the pan.

To flip, or not to flip…

Halfway through baking, you can flip these to give the other flat side of the wedge a chance to darken. I have made these Parmesan roasted potato wedges flipping halfway, and not flipping and both ways come out well.

These Parmesan roasted potato wedges make a great side or snack. Love potatoes? Try some of my other delicious sides:
