Description
Golden, crispy oven-baked potato wedges seasoned with garlic and smoked paprika. A simple, healthier alternative to fried potatoes that’s packed with flavor and perfect for dipping or serving alongside any main dish.
Ingredients
4 medium Russet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly. Cut into even wedges about 1 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, toss wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, with space between each piece.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving with dipping sauce of choice.
Notes
- Peeling potatoes is optional—the skin adds flavor and texture.
- Flip wedges halfway through baking for even browning.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and maximum crispiness.
- Try different potato types like sweet potatoes or Yukon Golds for variety.
