These crispy garlic parmesan grilled potato wedges offer a perfect crunchy snack with a savory parmesan-garlic crust, ideal for quick and easy grilling or baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (sea salt or kosher salt)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional, blend of oregano, basil, and thyme)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Scrub 4 medium russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrients. Cut each potato into 8 wedges by slicing in half lengthwise, then halving each half again lengthwise.
  2. Place the potato wedges in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to remove excess starch and help achieve a crispy exterior.
  3. Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). If using a grill pan, warm it over medium heat.
  4. Drain and pat the potato wedges dry with a clean towel to remove moisture. Toss the wedges in 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (if using), 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and toss gently to combine so the cheese sticks to the oil-coated surface.
  6. Place the wedges directly on the grill grates or in a grill basket. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 4 minutes to get even grill marks and prevent burning. Look for a golden-brown crust and tender inside when pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove the wedges from the grill and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Let them rest for 2 minutes to crisp up a bit more before serving.

Notes

Soak potato wedges in cold water to remove starch for crispiness. Dry thoroughly before seasoning. Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melting and crispness. Brush grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Avoid overcrowding wedges on the grill for even cooking. Can be baked at 425°F (220°C) for 30–35 minutes as an alternative.
