### Tips for Perfect Crispy Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges
– **Choose the Right Potatoes**: Russet potatoes are the best choice for wedges as they are starchy, which helps them crisp up beautifully in the oven. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture, but they might not get as crispy as russets.
– **Cut the Potatoes Evenly**: Try to cut your potato wedges into uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly. This will help prevent some wedges from being overcooked while others are underdone.
– **Don’t Overcrowd the Pan**: For the crispiest wedges, make sure the potato wedges are in a single layer on the baking sheet, with some space between them. Overcrowding the pan can cause them to steam rather than crisp.
– **Add Extra Cheese**: If you love cheesy potatoes, you can sprinkle some extra **Parmesan cheese** on top of the wedges about 5 minutes before they finish baking for an extra layer of cheesy goodness.
– **Use Fresh Garlic**: If you prefer fresh garlic over garlic powder, use about **3-4 cloves of garlic**, minced, and toss it with the oil and seasonings. Fresh garlic adds a more aromatic, intense flavor.
### Creative Variations
While **Crispy Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges** are delicious on their own, feel free to get creative with your seasonings and toppings:
– **Spicy Kick**: Add some **cayenne pepper** or **chili flakes** to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick.
– **Herb Variations**: Use fresh **rosemary**, **thyme**, or **basil** instead of oregano for a different herb profile.
– **Cheesy Garlic**: For an extra cheesy touch, sprinkle some **mozzarella** or **cheddar** cheese on top of the wedges during the last few minutes of baking.
– **Dipping Sauces**: Serve with a variety of dipping sauces like **ranch**, **sour cream**, **ketchup**, or a homemade **garlic aioli** for extra flavor.
