Oven-Baked Potato Wedges are a crispy, flavorful, and healthier alternative to traditional fried potatoes. These wedges are tossed in olive oil and a blend of savory spices, then baked to golden perfection, giving them a crispy exterior and a soft, tender inside. Perfect as a side dish or snack, these wedges pair well with everything from burgers to grilled chicken, or can be enjoyed on their own with your favorite dipping sauce. Easy to prepare and bake, they’re a family favorite for a reason!
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or rosemary)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Dipping sauces (ketchup, ranch, or aioli) for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange and bake: Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overlapping. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
