Today we’re talking about fries. Crispy fries that are seasoned to perfection and hard to resist.

I’m a fry-lover and certainly have a few of my fast-food favorites out there. I’m from Chicago, home to the famous Portillos restaurant chains (known for their hot dogs, burgers and beef sandwiches).

But what I really like from Portillos (besides their amazing salads) is their fries. They’re the crinkle cut kind and are baked until perfectly crisp and golden. I try my hardest to not order them every time I visit Portillos, but let me tell you, it’s hard. Once I get a craving for fries, there’s no stopping me.

Instead of opting for my favorite fast-food fries, I decided to whip up these Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges.

Recipe Variations 

  • Don’t like Russet potatoes? Try using a different kind of potato, like red or Yukon gold. Just be sure to watch the cooking time as smaller potatoes may need less time in the oven.
  • Looking to switch up the cheese? You could try Romano or Asagio cheese instead.
  • Switch up the flavor profile by replacing the paprika with smoked paprika, or ground chipotle for a little added heat!

Tips for Making Oven Roasted Potato Wedges

  • Be sure to spread the oven roasted potato wedges out in an even layer, otherwise they may not bake evenly.
  • Combine the seasonings together before you put them on the wedges, or you run the risk of the wedges not being seasoned evenly.
  • Don’t skip the cooling period! They’ll be too hot to handle if you try and eat them right away!
