How to make garlic parmesan potato wedges
First, preheat your oven, then start cleaning your potatoes. You can also peel them if you want, but I think crispy potato skin is amazing on potato wedges, so I just make sure to scrub and clean them properly. Cut the potatoes into wedges. You decide the thickness of the wedges, just keep in mind that they should all be around the same thickness to roast at the same rate. Add them to a baking sheet, and add garlic powder, oil, salt and pepper. Spread the wedges evenly on the baking sheet, and place in the oven.
The cooking time will vary depending on your oven, the size of the wedges and the type of potato you use, but it’s typically between 40-60 minutes. When the wedges are roasted and look crispy and perfect, take them out and cover with shredded parmesan. Serve immediately, or add them back to the oven for a minute if you want to let the cheese melt into the potatoes – yum.
Are potato wedges good for you?
Potatoes have received a pretty bad reputation by dieters. Although potatoes are high on carbs and very starchy, they are also high on fiber, full of vitamins, and keep you full for hours. Frozen, ready made potato wedges are often deep fried or covered in large amount of oil and/or sugar, so this homemade version is a much healthier option, even with the added cheese. It also tastes so much better, it’s almost as easy to make, and it’s at least ten times more impressive.
Dipping sauces for potato wedges
Dips are my favorite! We usually stick to ketchup, cheesy sour cream dressing, sweet chili or BBQ sauce when we want to keep it simple. If you want to put a little bit more effort into the dish, I can highly recommend serving it with creamy guacamole, butternut squash sauce or homemade sweet and sour dip.
