Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large russet potatoes Wash and scrub before cutting.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For coating the wedges.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Provides a smoky taste.
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt For seasoning.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper For seasoning.
  • Fresh herbs (optional) Rosemary or thyme can be used.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub potatoes, then cut them into wedges.
Seasoning
  1. In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Baking
  1. Spread the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once golden and crispy, let cool briefly, then serve warm.

Notes

For extra crunch, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking. Make sure to spread the wedges out evenly on the baking sheet to ensure they cook evenly. Experiment with different seasonings like chili powder or Italian herbs for a unique flavor.
