Description
Golden, crispy baked potato wedges seasoned with garlic, paprika, and herbs. Oven-baked to perfection — the perfect side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne for extra spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then into quarters, and finally into wedges (about 8 per potato). Keep them roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Place wedges in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Let soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
- In a large bowl, toss dried potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet with one cut side down.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dip.
Notes
- For extra crispness, preheat your baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes before adding the potatoes.
