Title: Wedges
Ingredients:
– 4 large russet potatoes
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. You can choose to peel the potatoes or leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
3. Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges, ensuring they are all evenly coated. The oil will help the wedges become crispy in the oven.
5. Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the wedges. Use your hands or a spoon to gently toss the wedges, ensuring all the seasonings are distributed evenly.
6. Transfer the seasoned potato wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. This will help them crisp up evenly.
7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wedges for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
8. Once the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the wedges for a pop of color and added flavor.
9. Serve the wedges hot and fresh out of the oven as a delightful side dish alongside your favorite main course or enjoy them as a snack with your preferred dipping sauce.
