Description
Crispy and tender baked potato wedges seasoned with garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. These easy homemade wedges rival any restaurant version, topped optionally with grated vegan parmesan and perfect for dipping in ketchup.
Ingredients
Scale
Potato Wedges
- 4 russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
Optional Topping
- Grated vegan parmesan, such as Violife brand
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and lightly grease a large baking pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes clean. On a cutting board, slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds or fourths lengthwise at an angle depending on the size of the potatoes to create wedges.
- Season Potatoes: Place the sliced potato wedges along with olive oil, minced garlic (or garlic powder), onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt into a large resealable bag or bowl. Seal the bag and shake well or toss to coat all wedges evenly with the seasoning blend.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow crisping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, flipping the wedges once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. They are done when golden brown and easily pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove from oven and optionally sprinkle grated vegan parmesan on top. Serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- These wedges can be made in an air fryer for a quicker cooking time and extra crispiness.
- Adjust seasonings to taste, especially the salt and smoked paprika for a spicier kick.
- Use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor, or garlic powder as a convenient alternative.
- Ensure wedges are spread out evenly on the baking sheet to avoid steaming and maintain crisp texture.
- You can substitute regular parmesan cheese if not vegan.
