Appetizer Recipes Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges

Let’s talk about potato wedges—the kind that make you abandon your fork halfway through dinner because your fingers are doing a better job. These Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges have the kind of crunch that lets you know you’re in for something good before you even taste it. They’re crisp on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and the garlic-parmesan combo is exactly what you want it to be: sharp, salty, buttery, and just enough to make you reach for another wedge before your plate’s empty. I like making these when I need something easy but still impressive. They’re like that friend who shows up in jeans but somehow still looks fancy. You just toss everything in a bowl, spread it out on a pan, and let your oven do the work. I’ve served these as a side, but honestly, they hold their own as an appetizer, especially when dipped in ranch, ketchup, or something with a kick. Whether you're scrolling Taste Of Home Recipes for 4th of July appetizer ideas or just tired of overthinking snacks, this recipe baked wedge has you covered. It checks every box for a recipe appetizer or recipes appetizer go-to. Heck, even if you're craving Parmesan meatballs, this’ll scratch that same cheesy itch.
