Directions:
- 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 triangular wedges, aiming for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Coating:

- Add the Coating:
- Mix the shredded Parmesan cheese and minced garlic with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Coat the oiled potato wedges with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
- Bake the Potatoes:
- Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for crispiness.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the wedges halfway through baking for even browning.
