Ingredients

3 large yellow potatoes
60 grams Panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
30-40 grams grated Parmesan cheese
50 grams olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them into wedges, aiming for pieces that are roughly equal in size. This will ensure even cooking.
Prepare the Coating
In a large bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss them gently to coat.
Add the Parmesan cheese and minced garlic to the breadcrumb mixture. Toss the potato wedges again, making sure they are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
Arrange and Bake
Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between them for good air circulation and crispy edges.
Bake the potato wedges for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. You can flip the wedges halfway through baking for even browning.
Serve
Once golden brown and tender, remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crispy potato wedges with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or aioli.
Pair them with grilled chicken or a hearty salad for a complete meal.
Cooking Tips
For even cooking, make sure to cut the potato wedges to a uniform size.
Flipping the wedges halfway through baking ensures they cook evenly and develop a nice crispy texture on all sides.
For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
