How to make crispy potato wedges
Preheat oven to 425F.
Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the cut potato wedges, oil, and seasonings.
Toss to coat and combine.
Lay the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring no potatoes overlap.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
Variations
For even more crispier fries, dust the wedges with 1-2 tablespoon of cornstarch or potato starch before baking.
You can switch it up and use sweet potatoes.
Make the fries your own and add chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, or other herbs and seasonings such as mala spice, furikake or shichimi togarashi.
How to serve
Serve the Crispy Potato Wedges with hot dogs, burgers, fried chicken, chicken wings, or sandwiches.
Pair oven fries with ketchup, mayo, or sour cream with dill.
How to store & reheat
Store any leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat the wedges in a 350F oven for 15-20 minutes, until hot and crisp.
Expert tips
Remember to pat the potato wedges dry with a paper towel before seasoning to ensure crispness.
Cutting the wedges into thinner slices will yield crispier fries.
