Description
Irresistible potato wedges that are golden outside and tender inside, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 32 oz waxy potatoes (about 4 large potatoes, Yukon Gold or red)
- 1½ teaspoons paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Low-fat cooking spray or olive oil (a light drizzle or a few sprays)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easier cleanup.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt and pat them dry.
- In a small bowl, combine 1½ tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp onion powder. Mix evenly.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3–4 wedges.
- Place wedges in a large bowl. Spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with about 1–2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss to coat.
- Sprinkle the spice mix over the potatoes and toss again. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Arrange wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet with cut sides down.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until wedges are golden and a knife pierces easily.
- Remove from oven, taste for seasoning, and serve hot.
Notes
For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes after baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
