4.6 from 668 reviews

Crispy and flavorful seasoned potato wedges baked to perfection with a delicious blend of spices and olive oil, making a perfect side dish or snack for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium russet potatoes (or 3 large potatoes)

Seasoning & Oil

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425˚F (220˚C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crisp and golden potato wedges.
  2. Cut Potatoes: Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-6 evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Coat with Olive Oil: Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss thoroughly to coat every wedge, which helps them crisp up and roast evenly.
  4. Season Wedges: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and kosher salt. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the wedges and toss again until all pieces are evenly coated with the flavorful blend.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer, placing them skin side down for best texture.
  6. Bake the Wedges: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to cook through and start crisping the edges.
  7. Broil for Browning: After baking, switch the oven to broil and cook the wedges for an additional 2-4 minutes, keeping a close eye until they reach your desired golden brown and crisp finish.

Notes

  • Ensure wedges are similar in size to cook evenly.
  • Use kosher salt for better seasoning distribution but adjust to taste if using regular salt.
  • Broiling at the end gives the wedges a nice crispy exterior—watch them carefully to prevent burning.
  • For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes prior to cooking and pat dry before seasoning.
  • Serve with ketchup, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
