Make steakhouse-style potato wedges at home. These oven-baked wedges achieve a perfectly crispy exterior and a fluffy interior using a simple technique, seasoned generously with garlic and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large Russet potatoes, washed and dried
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or use a wire rack set over the baking sheet for better air circulation.
  2. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges. You do not need to peel the potatoes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with the olive oil until they are evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the oiled wedges and toss again to coat thoroughly.
  5. Arrange the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure crispiness.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese (and minced garlic, if using) evenly over the wedges. Gently toss the wedges on the pan.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the wedges are deeply golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them completely before tossing with oil.
  • If you prefer an Air Fryer method, cook at 380°F (195°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Add Parmesan during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • These wedges pair well with ranch dressing or a zesty homemade dipping sauce.
