Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium medium potatoes Choose fresh, good-quality potatoes.
- 3 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with avocado oil or another high-heat oil.
- 2 teaspoons paprika Adjust to taste.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder For added flavor.
- 1 teaspoon salt To taste.
- ½ teaspoon black pepper To taste.
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by washing your medium-sized potatoes under cold water. Scrub them well to remove any dirt, as you'll be leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
- Once cleaned, stake your potatoes and slice them into wedges. Aim for uniformity in size, so they cook evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until thoroughly mixed.
- Place the potato wedges in the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they are fully coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Spread the flavored potato wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the wedges for 25-30 minutes. Flip them halfway through.
- Check for doneness, ensuring they are golden and crispy. They should be easily pierced with a fork.
- Once done, remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving hot.
Notes
Serve these wedges with dips like ketchup or ranch dressing. They can also be paired with grilled meats or a fresh salad. To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
