Homemade KFC-Style Potato Wedges
Ingredients:
-
4 large russet potatoes
-
2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a little heat)
-
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prep potatoes:
-
Wash potatoes thoroughly.
-
Cut each potato into wedges — typically cutting in half lengthwise, then each half into 3-4 wedges depending on size.
-
Season:
-
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil.
-
In a small bowl, mix all the spices (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, cayenne, and sugar).
-
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss well to coat evenly.
-
Bake:
-
Arrange the wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer, skin side down if you like extra crispiness on the skin.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges and soft inside.
-
Serve:
-
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces — ranch, ketchup, or even a creamy spicy dip!
