🥔 Crispy Baked Potato Wedges
Ingredients:
-
3–4 medium russet potatoes (or Yukon gold)
-
2–3 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
-
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
Optional: ¼ teaspoon chili powder or cayenne for heat
-
Fresh parsley or grated Parmesan for topping (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil for easy cleanup. -
Cut Potatoes:
Wash and scrub potatoes (no need to peel).
Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3–4 wedges, depending on size. -
Soak (optional but helps crispiness):
Soak wedges in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Pat very dry with a towel. -
Season:
In a large bowl, toss wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. -
Bake:
Spread wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer, skin side down if possible.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. -
Serve:
Sprinkle with chopped parsley, Parmesan, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve hot with ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
🔄 Variations:
-
Toss with Parmesan and herbs before baking for a garlic-Parmesan twist.
-
Make it spicy with Cajun seasoning or a dash of cayenne.
-
Use sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter version.
