Rejoice! I have finally made the most perfect potato wedges with super crispy outsides, tender and fluffy insides… in my home oven. And with this recipe, you will, too!
At fast food joints, I’m totally team wiggly fry. I like them underdone and salty as hell. But, when I’m craving a restaurant-quality potato fry, I want to feel that crunch and taste that tender potato, with a slightly blackened outside and a salty seasoned crust. This stick-to-your-ribs kind of fry is what I’ve been going for at home, all these years! A satisfying side to homemade sandwiches and a fun appetizer for game day with the family. I’m so happy to share with you that the search is over – your perfect potato wedge is here!
Now, you can make ridiculously crispy, melt-in-your-mouth potato wedges at home, just like me! The smell as these are sizzling in the oven with that Parmesan bubbling and garlic infusing into every bite? Let’s just say, it got everyone running into the kitchen for taste testing.
Dunked in your favorite dipping sauce, these Parmesan Potato Wedges are absolutely addictive. We like a spicy Sriracha ketchup and a cool Ranch or bleu cheese dipping sauce. For a thicker sauce, mix these with sour cream and sprinkle on some fresh chopped chives.
Just remember to save some for the rest of us! 😉

What makes these Potato Wedges so tender & crispy?
• Pat your potatoes dry: Once cut, pat your potato wedges between paper towels to get them really dry. If your potatoes are too wet, this will cause your spuds to steam, which is the opposite of crispy! This simple step is the first rule of getting crunchy, tender potato wedges. Once they are dried, toss in the Parmesan and seasoning.
• Parmesan and dry seasonings: The grated Parmesan cheese creates an outer crust, which gets these potato wedges delightfully salty and crunchy. Want to use other seasonings? You can use any seasoning blend or dry rub you like. I would suggest keeping in the garlic and paprika, though!
• High oven temp: To achieve potato wedge perfection, crank that oven! The high oven temp (425 degrees F) helps dry out your potatoes and seal in that crispy outer layer, so don’t skimp here. Good thing is, it only takes 35 minutes ’til your wedges are ready for munching.
