Potato wedges are a tasty and versatile snack or side dish.
They are also simple to make.
Here is a quick and easy recipe for making seasoned potato wedges.
Choosing the Perfect Potatoes
Potato wedges are a delicious snack made by cutting potatoes into thick slices, seasoning them, and then baking or frying them to crispy perfection.
When picking the right potatoes for your wedges, Russet potatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes are excellent choices.
Russet potatoes are known for their starchy texture and crispy finish.
Meanwhile, Yukon Golds add a creamy interior and a slightly buttery taste.
Ingredients:
- 4 Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Your choice of herbs or spices (like garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary)
First, scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt.
Leave the skin on for extra flavor and texture.
Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges.
Aim for similar sizes for even cooking.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional spices you love.
Make sure everything is well coated.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes.
Remember to flip them halfway through.
Then, take them out when they’re golden brown and crispy.
Enjoy your tasty potato wedges straight from the oven, and don’t forget your favorite dipping sauce!
