Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 Potatoes (Sebago, Russet, Creme Gold, Yukon Gold, washed with skin on)
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Cut Potatoes: Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half in half again lengthwise, and one more time to create 8 wedge-shaped pieces per potato. Ensure wedges are uniform in size for even cooking.
  3. Season Wedges: Place the potato wedges in a bowl, add the paprika, garlic powder, olive oil, and salt. Mix well to evenly coat all wedges with seasoning and oil.
  4. Arrange on Tray: Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Make sure to leave a small gap between each wedge to allow air circulation for crispiness.
  5. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly on all sides until they are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with an extra sprinkle of salt if desired. Enjoy with ketchup, sweet chili sauce, or sour cream.

Notes

  • Use good roasting potatoes such as Sebago, Russet, Yukon Gold, or Creme Gold for best texture.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking tray to allow wedges to crisp properly; leave space between wedges.
  • The recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve more people while maintaining crispiness.
  • Wedges can be complemented perfectly with grilled meats, burgers, or dips like ketchup and sour cream.
