I’ll be honest: This latest semi-french fry recipe is sort of blowing my mind. So crispy and loaded with yummy garlic and Italian flavors. I could never turn down garlic and cheese on fries and I think you won’t be able to, either!

Fries are my weakness. Many a time my sky-high metabolism’ed younger self and brother made midnight french fry runs to the local Wendy’s/Carl’s Junior/Mickey-Ds/whatever is open. When my siblings and I went to iHop for breakfast, I ordered chicken strips and fries. Pancakes are great, sure, but they just can’t win out over deep fried potatoes and ketchup.

I’ve since tried to get a handle on my addiction in my adult years by ordering fries on the side only here and there when eating out, instead of going with the fries-with-everything motto I endorsed for 20 years. Oftentimes I’ll just share with the husband, he doesn’t mind giving up a few…or 60%. He’s awesome like that.

And when I’m craving fries at home in my sweats, I usually make my own instead of heading out for a to-go order. And these…well, Wendy’s natural cut fries have nothing on these baked garlic parmesan potato wedges! So when I say these are worth making, I really mean it!

So easy you’re going to think you should make these every night. Go ahead, I won’t fight ya!

Preheat the oven to 375 and get to work prepping your potatoes (more on that below).

Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set it aside. Then, add the potato wedges to a  large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. In another small bowl whisk together salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the potato wedges with the shredded cheese, tossing to coat, then sprinkle with the seasoning mixture.
