Kitchen Equipment Needed:

Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes, washed and dried
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Cut each potato into wedges by slicing in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato. Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.
3. Make the Garlic Parmesan Coating: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until well combined.
4. Coat the Potato Wedges: Pour the garlic Parmesan mixture over the potato wedges in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to toss the wedges until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
5. Season and Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Bake the Potato Wedges: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potato wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Halfway through baking, use a spatula to flip the wedges to ensure even cooking.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the potato wedges from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness of these Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges.
