Potato Wedges
Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these Potato Wedges are a simple and delicious side dish. Seasoned with bold spices and baked (or air fried) to golden perfection, they’re perfect for serving with burgers, sandwiches, or as a snack with your favorite dipping sauces.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and scrub potatoes, then cut into evenly sized wedges.
- (Optional) Soak wedges in cold water for 20 minutes, then dry thoroughly for extra crispiness.
