Recipe: Crispy Oven Roasted Garlic Potato Wedges

What if I said this was the BEST Roasted Potato Recipe and the only one you will ever need. Would you believe me?

If you said no, it’s okay I’ll change your mind by the end of this post. These potatoes are perfect mix of soft and creamy on the inside, crunchy and salty on the outside with a hint of garlic and Parmesan on the outside.

Stay with me here. You can add them as a trusty side, make a spicy aioli dip and serve them as appetizers or grab a plate and have them as a snack.

Still on the fence? Just make them, and try for yourself. I guarantee you and the family will love them.

  4. Arrange potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking tray. Sprinkle with half of the parmesan cheese.
