How Do You Cut Potatoes Into Wedges?
Cutting potatoes into wedges might sound intimidating but it really isn't. It's an easy and straightforward process that anyone can do with just a few simple tools. All you need is a sharp knife, a cutting board, and some potatoes.
First, you'll want to wash and dry your potatoes. Then, cut them in half lengthwise. Next, cut each half again lengthwise to make quarters then slice those quarters again into eights. Make sure that the wedges are all roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
Once you have your potato wedges cut, it's time to season them! Toss the wedges in a bowl with olive oil and your favorite spices! Follow my recipe for the most delicious combination you can ever imagine!
What You Need to Make Baked Potato Wedges at Home
Making these delicious Baked Potato Wedges requires the simplest ingredients ever! Let's look at what these are in more detail:
- Potatoes: First of all, we'll need some delicious potatoes to make our oven-roasted potato wedges recipe. I've used red potatoes since they bake perfectly, but you can also go for Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
Dry parsley: You'll also need some dry parsley as it adds a delicious freshness to the potatoes and the hints of green truly make them look and taste incredible!
Mrs. Dash seasoning: This is my secret ingredient! It's the most perfect seasoning mix that I highly recommend you have in your pantry since it combines a bunch of great spices and seasonings such as onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, lemon powder amongst other great ones that go perfectly with potatoes.
Garlic salt: We'll also need some garlic salt since it adds a beautiful flavor to the potato wedges with subtle hints of garlic that truly elevate this side dish to the next level.
Salt: You'll also need some salt to season the potatoes perfectly. I've used sea salt in this recipe but you can also use regular kosher salt. We'll be adding one teaspoon salt or to taste.
Olive oil: Lastly, we'll need some olive oil to drizzle on top of our potato wedges as this will allow the season to 'stick' to the wedges and also get the wedges to the perfect crispy texture when they're baking. Alternatively, you can use any high-quality vegetable oil such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil too.
How to Make Baked Potato Wedges (Step-by-Step)
Making these delicious Baked Potato Wedges is easier than you think! Here's how to make them step by step:
Start by preheating the oven to 400 F. Measure out all the seasonings and mix them together. Set aside until ready for use.
Time to prep our potatoes! Scrub potatoes with a veggie scrubbing brush under running cold water to clean them well.
Pat dry with a paper towel, and then cut each potato into small wedges and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Next, drizzle olive oil over potato wedges, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture. Toss them in a circular motion until well coated.
Transfer seasoned potato wedges onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and make sure they're all placed in a single layer skin side down to allow them to perfectly crisp up.
Bake for 25 min at 400 F or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Your delicious Baked Potato Wedges are ready to be served. Enjoy with any of your favorite salads and meat. I particularly love them with some Chicken Fritters!
How to Store Leftover Baked Potato Wedges
Leftover Baked Potato Wedges can be easily stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. To store them, simply place the wedges in an airtight container or wrap them in aluminum foil.
When you're ready to enjoy them again, preheat your oven to 450 F (177 C) and bake for 10 minutes or until they're crispy and heated through.
I don't recommend freezing these crispy potato wedges as they won't be as crispy and the texture will change significantly. Since they're so easy to make, I recommend baking them fresh whenever possible!
