Parmesan Baked Potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor! These golden, cheesy wedges are the perfect side dish for any meal. Here’s how to make them:
Parmesan Baked Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or your favorite herb)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Scrub the potatoes clean and cut them into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).
- Place the potato wedges in a large bowl.
2. Coat the Potatoes:
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried rosemary (or your choice of herb), paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the potatoes again until everything is well-coated.
3. Bake the Potatoes:
- Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. For extra crispiness, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
- Bake until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
4. Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- Crispier Potatoes: If you like your wedges extra crispy, try placing them on a wire rack set on top of the baking sheet to allow air circulation around them while they bake.
- Herb Variations: Feel free to swap out the dried rosemary with thyme, oregano, or even a bit of Italian seasoning for different flavor profiles.
- Dipping Sauce: These Parmesan baked potatoes are perfect with a side of sour cream, ranch, or even ketchup for dipping.
These Parmesan Baked Potatoes are an irresistible side dish that pairs well with everything from grilled meats to salads, or as a standalone snack. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness! 🥔🧀
