How to Make Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges (Overview)
Making these wedges is a breeze! Start by preheating your oven, then get your potatoes prepped. Once you slice them, toss those wedges with your olive oil and seasonings until they’re coated in flavor. Lay them down on a baking sheet like a pro, then bake to crispy perfection. Pro tip: Don’t rush the flipping halfway—this ensures all sides get golden brown. You might even want to sneak a taste while they’re baking! 😉
How to Serve Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges
These Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges shine as a side dish or a snack. Pair them with a delightful ketchup or homemade garlic aioli for dipping.

The aroma of garlic and cheese will have everyone gathering around the table as soon as they come out of the oven.
How to Store Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges
If you manage to have leftovers (which is unlikely!), simply pop them in an airtight container. They’ll last about 3-5 days in the fridge. For longer-term storage, freeze them for up to a month.
