Baked Potato Wedges
These crispy baked potato wedges are seasoned to perfection and make a fantastic side dish or snack. They're easy to prepare and require just a few ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the wedges from sticking.
-
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potatoes.
-
Season the Wedges:
- Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
- Add the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the wedges well to evenly coat them in the seasoning mixture.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap. This will help them cook evenly and become crispy.
-
Bake the Potatoes:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the wedges from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, sour cream, or ranch dressing.
Tips:
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in water for 30 minutes before baking. This helps remove excess starch.
- You can customize the seasoning to your taste by adding chili powder, Italian seasoning, or grated Parmesan cheese.
- These wedges also work well as a side for burgers, grilled meats, or a fresh salad.
Enjoy these Baked Potato Wedges for a deliciously crispy and flavorful treat!
