Simple Oven Baked Potato Wedges

Hello from the girl who can eat her weight in potatoes. I know there are 110 recipes out there for potato wedges but I thought I’d share my take on it since I had recently made myself a batch to snack on. Whenever I have leftover potatoes, I like to either make my own chips, fries, or wedges because hey, I’m a little lazy so if I can skip going to the store then I’m game.

What You’ll Need to Make These Simple Oven Baked Potato Wedges

• potatoes
• hot water
• olive oil
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• salt
• pepper

The secret to the perfect oven baked potato wedges…

• Soak your raw potatoes after cutting them up in hot water for 10-15 minutes before baking as this removes the excess starch from the potatoes. This which prevents the potatoes from sticking together and helps achieve maximum crispness of the wedges.
• Generously season your potato wedges with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper after patting the potatoes dry and coated with your oil of choice.
• If you want to up the tasty factor of these potato wedges, in the last 5 minutes, add some shaved parmesan on top and finish in the wedges in the oven.
• If you are using all your oven racks for this like I am, be sure to rotate the sheet pans as the sheet pans closest to the heat source will cook faster.
• For an added crisp factor, I gave the potatoes one last spritz of oil before they went in for baking. Just an extra step I take.

How To Make These Oven Baked Potato Wedges

• Wash and scrub your potatoes. Cut them in quarters length-wise before cutting them in half width-wise.
• Place the wedges into a bowl on hot water and let them soak for 10-15 minutes. Afterwards, drain the potatoes and pat them dry.
• Coat them with olive oil and generously sprinkle on the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Cover your sheet pans with parchment paper or a non-stick oil before placing your wedges evenly onto the pan. Make sure they’re not touching as that gives them room to crisp up.
• With a last spritz of oil, place them in the oven at 400F for 50-60 minutes, giving them a flip half-way through.
