Description

Crispy oven-baked potato wedges with golden edges and fluffy centers—an easy, seasoned side that pairs with everything from burgers to grilled meats.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 large russet potatoes

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 12 tsp cornstarch (optional)

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

  2. Cut potatoes into 8–10 wedges each. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes.

  3. Drain, dry completely, and toss with oil, cornstarch, and seasonings.

  4. Arrange in a single layer, skin side down if possible.

  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway. Broil last 2–3 mins for extra crisp.

  6. Sprinkle with salt, garnish with herbs, and serve hot with your favorite dip.

Notes

Use russet potatoes for best crispiness. Don’t skip the soak for maximum crunch. Air fryer instructions in FAQs.
