Description
Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside—these seasoned baked potato wedges are the ultimate snack or side. Easy to make, perfectly spiced, and oven-baked to golden perfection!
Ingredients
For the Wedges:
2 lb / 1 kg potatoes, peeled (about 4 large potatoes)
Seasoning:
3 tbsp olive oil
1½ tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder (or use more garlic powder)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Optional for Serving:
Sour cream
Sweet chili sauce
Ketchup, aioli, mayo, ranch, BBQ sauce, relish, or avocado dipping sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to 220°C / 430°F (200°C / 390°F fan/convection).
Prepare potatoes: Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 4 wedges (or 3 if smaller).
Season: Place potato wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil and seasoning mix. Toss thoroughly with hands until evenly coated.
Bake: Spread wedges on a baking tray with the cut side facing down.
Roast for 35–45 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
Best Potatoes: Avoid waxy varieties. Use starchy or all-purpose potatoes like Russet (US), Yukon Gold (US), Maris Piper (UK), or dirt-brushed all-rounders (AU).
Freezer-Friendly: Cool completely, freeze, then reheat at 200°C/390°F for 12 minutes to regain crispiness.
Dipping Sauce Tip: The classic Aussie combo of sour cream + sweet chili sauce is a must-try!
