Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium potatoes

Seasoning and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for crispy baking.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut each into evenly sized wedges to promote even cooking.
  3. Make Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to create a flavorful coating.
  4. Coat Wedges: Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss gently but thoroughly until each wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated wedges out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they have space to crisp up properly.
  6. Bake Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even crispiness on all sides.
  7. Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven once golden and crispy, then serve hot for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning, then pat dry.
  • You can customize the spices by adding chili powder or rosemary for a different flavor profile.
  • Use a convection oven if available for even crisper results.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or aioli.
