Ingredients
Scale
Potato Wedges
- 4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Optional
- Preferred dipping sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3 to 4 evenly sized wedges.
- Season Wedges: Pat the potato wedges dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring crispiness. Place them in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the wedges until all are well coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange for Baking: Lay the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them cut side down to promote even browning and crisp edges.
- Bake Wedges: Bake the potato wedges in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, carefully flip the wedges to the other side and continue baking for an additional 15 to 25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm with your preferred dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to pat the potato wedges dry before seasoning to help them crisp up better in the oven.
- Cut wedges into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Flipping halfway through baking promotes even browning and crispiness.
- Russet potatoes are preferred for their starchy texture, which crisps nicely.
- Customize seasoning spices according to your taste preferences.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
