Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredient:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Crank the oven to a blazing 425°F to ensure maximum crispiness for your potato wedges.
- Thoroughly rinse 4 medium potatoes under cool water, scrubbing away any dirt from the skin.
- Slice each potato into 6-8 even wedges, keeping them roughly the same size so they cook uniformly.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil into a spacious mixing bowl to create your flavor base.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, paprika, and salt into the bowl, along with ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Drop the potato wedges into the seasoning mixture, then tumble them around until every surface is generously coated.
- Arrange the wedges on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they’re spread out without touching each other.
- Slide the sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking.
- Check for a golden-brown exterior and crisp edges after 25 minutes.
- Pull the baking sheet from the oven and let the wedges rest for 3-4 minutes before serving to allow them to set and cool slightly.
Notes
- Soaking the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning helps remove excess starch and creates a crispier exterior.
- For extra crunch, pat the wedges completely dry with paper towels before adding seasoning and oil.
- Spacing the wedges with room between them on the baking sheet ensures they crisp up instead of steaming each other.
- Experiment with different spice blends like ranch seasoning, taco mix, or herbs de Provence to customize the flavor profile to your taste.
