These wedges are mouthwateringly good. Generously seasoned with garlic powder and smoked paprika, they are so good. Think crispy, spicy and completely irresistible.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Potatoes Scrubbed clean
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with baking parchment.
- Cut the potatoes into similar sized wedges and place them in a large bowl. Pour hot water over the potatoes (you can use really hot water from the tap or boil some water and pour that over).
- Let the potato wedges soak in the hot water for 10 minutes, before pouring the water out and pat the potatoes dry with a clean cloth.
- Next, pour the potatoes onto the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and spices. Use your fingers or two spoons to toss the potatoes and get them coated with the oil and spices.
- Spread the potato wedges evenly out on the baking sheet and bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes.
- Flip the potato wedges after the first 30 minutes of cooking, and bake for another 30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crispy (keep a keen eye on them to make sure they don't get too dark).
- Serve the potato wedges as is with a dip or as a side with burger. Enjoy.
