Description

These crispy potato wedges are a delightful side dish or snack. Seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, these baked potato wedges are flavorful and satisfying. The optional addition of Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley elevates these wedges to a gourmet level.


Ingredients

Scale

Potato Wedges:

  • 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Season the potatoes: Toss the wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Bake: Arrange the wedges on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley if desired. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Soaking the potatoes helps achieve extra crispiness.
  • For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
