How to Make Potato Wedges

Here's a simple recipe for crispy and delicious potato wedges:

Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized potatoes (russet or any starchy variety works best)
• 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional: ½ teaspoon chili flakes for some heat
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes

• Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly (you can keep the skin on for extra crispiness).
• Cut each potato into wedges: First, halve the potato lengthwise, then cut each half into 3–4 wedges depending on thickness preference.

2. Soak for Crispiness

• Soak the wedges in a bowl of cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crispier texture when baked or fried.
• Drain and pat them dry with a clean towel.

3. Season the Wedges

• Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
• In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Ensure the wedges are evenly coated.

4. Bake or Air Fry

• Baking:

• Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

• Air Frying:

• Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches).
• Air fry at 190°C (375°F) for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.

5. Serve

• Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, garlic mayo, or sour cream.
