How to serve Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

Serve these beauties hot out of the oven, and watch as everyone gathers faster than a moth to a flame! They look gorgeous with their golden, crispy exterior, and the aroma fills the room with an irresistible scent. Experiment with dipping sauces like ranch, homemade garlic aioli, or good-old ketchup. Your potato wedges deserve the royal treatment!

How to store Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

If you have any leftovers (which is highly unlikely), keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3–4 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. For reheating, pop them back into the oven to regain that crispy bite, avoiding the microwave like it’s your ex at a party.

Tips to make Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

1. Experiment with spices: Feel free to add other seasonings like garlic powder or Italian herbs for an extra flavor kick.
2. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet: This helps them crisp up instead of steaming.
3. Change up the cheese: Try different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella for a fun twist!
4. Cut uniformly: Making sure all wedges are similar in size helps them cook evenly.
5. Extra crispy? Brush with a bit more oil before baking if you desire that crunch.
