Description

Learn how to make the best potato wedges in the oven with this simple and flavorful recipe. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. A great side dish or appetizer!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes (about 4 large potatoes)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
  3. 3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and rosemary (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the seasoned oil.
  5. 5. Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  6. 6. Bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until deeply golden brown and crispy.
  7. 7. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Store cooled potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-10 minutes for best results.
