Crispy Baked Potato Wedges
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness.
- 3
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, aiming for evenly sized pieces.
- 4
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- 5
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly, ensuring each wedge is evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
- 6
Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, skin-side down, leaving space between each wedge for proper air circulation.
- 7
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each wedge using tongs or a spatula.
- 8
Continue baking for another 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender inside.
- 9
Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Chef's Note
"These crispy wedges are my go-to side dish - perfectly golden outside and fluffy inside every time. Serve them hot from the oven with your favorite dipping sauce, and watch them disappear faster than fries!"
