Crispy Baked Potato Wedges

Ingredients

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

I wash the potatoes thoroughly and then cut them into wedges by slicing each potato into 8-10 pieces.

Then I place the potato wedges in a large bowl, drizzle them with olive oil, and toss to coat them evenly.

In a small bowl, I mix the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

I sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss them until the wedges are evenly coated.

After that I arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overcrowded.

I bake them for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy.

Once done, I garnish the potato wedges with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Variations

There are so many ways I can switch things up with these potato wedges! I can try adding some grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor or drizzle a little bit of hot sauce over the top for a spicy kick. For a different taste, I might add dried rosemary instead of oregano, or sprinkle some cumin or chili powder for a smoky touch. You can also make them cheesy by adding a sprinkle of cheddar cheese during the last few minutes of baking.

Storage/Reheating

To store these crispy baked potato wedges, I let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They’ll last for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. When I’m ready to eat them again, I like to reheat them in the oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes to restore that crispy texture. Alternatively, I can heat them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes.

FAQs

How do I make the potato wedges extra crispy?

To make them extra crispy, I make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet and I flip the wedges halfway through cooking. The olive oil helps them crisp up nicely, and using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat ensures they don’t stick.

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

Yes! I love making sweet potato wedges as well. The flavor is a little different, but the cooking method is the same. Just keep an eye on the baking time since sweet potatoes may cook a bit faster.

Can I make these potato wedges ahead of time?

While these wedges are best fresh out of the oven, I can prepare them ahead of time by cutting and seasoning the potatoes, then refrigerating them until ready to bake. Just make sure to bake them right before serving for the crispiest results!

Are these baked potato wedges vegan-friendly?

Yes! This recipe is completely vegan-friendly, as it only uses plant-based ingredients like olive oil and seasonings.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Absolutely! If I want to make these in an air fryer, I preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C), then cook the wedges in a single layer for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for an extra crispy finish.

Conclusion

These crispy baked potato wedges are a simple, delicious, and healthy side dish that everyone will love. The golden, crispy edges and tender interior make them irresistible, and the seasoning blend adds just the right amount of flavor. Whether I’m serving them as a snack or alongside a main dish, these wedges never disappoint. I can also easily customize the recipe with different seasonings or toppings to suit my tastes!
