Potato Wedges Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes Russet or Yukon Gold are perfect
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp chili flakes optional, for a little kick

Optional Decorations

  • Fresh parsley chopped
  • Grated Parmesan or your favorite halal cheese
  • Dips: ketchup garlic mayo, or spicy sriracha sauce

Instructions
 

Prep Your Potatoes

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes. Leave the skin on for extra texture. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then into thick wedges. I swear, slicing these is oddly satisfying — and bonus, no fancy tools needed.

Season the Wedges

  • In a big bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili flakes if you like. Make sure each wedge is coated evenly — we want flavor in every bite.

Arrange & Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the wedges in a single layer. Give them space! Crowding = soggy edges, and nobody wants that.

Bake to Crispy Perfection

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be golden, crispy, and smell like absolute heaven. If you like them extra crisp, leave them for an extra 5 minutes, but keep an eye — we don’t want burnt edges.

Serve & Enjoy

  • Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, a dash of Parmesan, and your favorite dip on the side. Take a bite and savor that crunch followed by soft, fluffy potato inside. Cue the happy dance — yes girl, yes you did.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use olive oil or avocado oil for healthier, crispy results.
  • Adjust spices according to taste — chili flakes for heat, paprika for smokiness.
  • Can be baked or air-fried depending on your preference.
  • Serve with dips like garlic mayo, ketchup, or spicy sriracha for maximum flavor.
