How to make baked potato wedges
Learn how to prepare potatoes to make the best and crispiest potato wedges.
- Preheat oven: First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set the pans aside while you work on the potatoes and the oven preheats.
- Mix the seasoning: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set the mixed spices to the side.
- Cut the potatoes: Next, fully rinse and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any extra dirt. Pat the excess moisture with a paper towel. Next, place the potatoes on a cutting board and carefully slice them in half lengthwise. Place the cut side down onto the cutting board and cut the potatoes again in half to create quarters. If the potatoes are large, then you can cut again in half each quarter, to create eight wedges.
- Mix potatoes with seasoning: Place the wedges into a large mixing bowl. Pour the oil mixture over the top and generously rub the oil and spices all over the potatoes to evenly coat them.
- Add potatoes to the baking sheet: Now spread the wedges onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure you leave some space in between. Make sure the potato wedges are in an even layer.
- Add parmesan: Sprinkle the potatoes with ¾ of the parmesan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Flip the potatoes once with a tong to ensure even browning.
- Garnish and serve: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the baked potatoes with the remaining parmesan cheese on top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Season with extra salt and pepper, if needed, and serve warm with your favorite dip. Enjoy!
Frequently asked questions
There are a variety of different foods you can pair with potato wedges, such as chicken, beef, seafood, salads, cheese, chicken tenders, burgers, etc.
If you allow the potatoes to soak in water too long, then they will absorb the water and become too soggy as they cook. After soaking the potatoes in water, be sure to allow them to sit at room temperature for at least five minutes to allow the moisture to release. Pat the potatoes dry with dry towels.
If your potato wedges are not getting crispy, then you may need to roast them longer or soak them in water beforehand. Potatoes that have too much starch or moisture will not get crispy.
How to make them in an air fryer
- Add the potato seasonings to a bowl- whisk olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper set aside.
- Add potato wedges into a large mixing bowl and pour the oil mixture over the potatoes. Toss to combine.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
- Place the potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Set the temperature to 400 degrees.
- Air fry the potatoes for 10 minutes. Open the basket, shake or toss, and cook for an additional 8 – 10 minutes until potatoes are cooked and crispy on the outside.

Recipe Tips

Nutrition
Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.
This was great! We used nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan for less calories, and it was still great – just needed like half the amount, otherwise it was way too much.
Thanks!
Nice substitute
These were great! I used nutritional yeast instead of cheese, and a little less oil than called for. I loved that you had us mix the oil and spices together first – it’s so much easier that way! Every other recipe I’ve tried has you put them on the potatoes separately, so this opened up my eyes to one less step 🙂
Glad this worked for you!
Delicious!!!! I used Yukon Gold potatoes. This recipe was a big hit at my home. My family loved them. I will be making them more often. So tasty. I didn’t have fresh parsley to I used chopped frozen parsley. It was just as good. You should try this recipe, you won’t be disappointed!
Thanks. Glad this was a hit
Delicious without garlic
I did it a couple of time
Very nice recipe
Thanks
Thanks Grace
It was described as a WW recipe but doesn’t give the points. Please let us know the points
We don’t see any mention of WW?
I’m sorry but how is 438 calories healthy for a side dish??
I calculated 250 for 10 wedges when I made it.
Potatoes in blue are zero measure your oil 1 tsp 1 point and 1 oz of parmesan 4 points for 5 potatoes, 10 points for all , so it looks like 1 potatoe 2 points, use nutritional yeast and then it would be about 1 point per potatoe
11 points per serving
I would really like to know the points as well. If you post the calories, fat, saturated fat , carbohydrates, sugar grams and protein there is a free online calculator that will give it to you.
How many points is 1 serving on WW?
Hi. I am really not sure how to calculate WW points. I will look into this
