Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crispy baking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the medium potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized wedges for uniform cooking.
- Mix Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful coating.
- Toss Potatoes: Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them well until every wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow for even cooking and crispiness.
- Bake: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides become golden and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the potato wedges from the oven and serve hot for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch.
- Flip the wedges carefully halfway during baking to prevent breaking.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, ranch, or aioli.
- Use russet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
