Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika (regular or smoked)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ¾ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: ½ tsp dried parsley, Italian seasoning, or cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Scrub and slice potatoes into 6–8 wedges each.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper (plus any optional seasonings).
  4. Arrange wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut side down.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Let rest for a couple of minutes before serving hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or chili powder for heat.
  • Cheesy Version: Sprinkle Parmesan over wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Fresh Herb Finish: Toss with chopped parsley or rosemary before serving.
  • Lemon Zest: Add after baking for a fresh, bright flavor.
  • Sweet Potato Swap: Use sweet potatoes for a sweeter variation with similar crunch.
