Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (or 3 large potatoes)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp kosher salt

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly, pat them dry, and cut each into wedges.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and kosher salt. Toss the potato wedges until evenly coated.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer.
  5. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Check for doneness; they should be golden brown and crispy. If needed, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Soak wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning for extra crispiness.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated for the best texture.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme before serving.
