Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil for a lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper for some heat
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a perfectly crispy finish.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Cut your scrubbed potatoes into wedges, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
Cooking
  1. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, combine potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the wedges are thoroughly coated.
  2. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  3. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

For creative substitutions, you can use lime juice for a tangy twist or sweet potatoes for a sweeter variation. Pre-wash and cut your potatoes ahead of time and store them in water to prevent browning.
