Baked Potato Wedges
Oven Baked Potato Wedges are simply seasoned and baked in about a half hour. These wedges go perfectly with all of your favorite meals!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes peeled and sliced into 8ths, see note 1
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 2 minced garlic cloves, see note 2
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- grated parmesan cheese optional
- chopped fresh parsley optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C, and line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat. I used a half sheet size pan.
- Add the sliced potato wedges to the pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning (if using), salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Use a spatula or your hands to distribute the seasonings and to coat well.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until fork tender.
- If desired, garnish with chopped parsley and grated parmesan before serving.
Notes
- Potatoes: You can peel the potatoes, or leave the skins on. Be sure to wash the potatoes well either way. Russet potatoes make the best baked potato wedges. Choose medium-to-large -sized potatoes, and cut them each into 8 long wedges.
- Garlic: In place of garlic powder, you can add fresh minced garlic. You will want to toss the garlic with the potato wedges during the last 10 minutes of baking, rather than mixing it in at the beginning so that the garlic doesn't burn.
- Fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese are optional, but delicious garnishes to add to the wedges before serving.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If the pieces are touching they won't be able to get crispy.
- I love this seasoning mixture on potatoes, and I think it makes this a very versatile side dish, but you can feel free to try other seasonings to match your meals.
- To make the potato wedges extra crispy, soak them in ice water for 30 minutes after you've sliced them. This pulls out some of the starch so that they can crisp up.
- To store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, and enjoy within 3-4 days. Potato wedges reheat best in the oven or air fryer.
