Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium russet potatoes (or 3 large potatoes)
Seasoning and Oil
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425˚F to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp up the potato wedges.
- Cut Potatoes: Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 4 to 6 evenly sized wedges for consistent cooking.
- Coat Potatoes: Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them and toss thoroughly to ensure each wedge is coated evenly.
- Season Wedges: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and kosher salt. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss again to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Arrange and Bake: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer, placing them skin side down to help them crisp up. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Broil for Crispiness: After baking, switch your oven to the broil setting. Broil the wedges for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, keeping a close eye to achieve your desired golden-brown color and crispiness without burning.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then pat dry thoroughly.
- Adjust seasoning quantities according to taste preferences.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
