Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the russet and sweet potatoes thoroughly. You may choose to peel them, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
Cut both types of potatoes into evenly sized wedges (about 1/2 inch thick) to ensure uniform cooking.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss them until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again to coat thoroughly.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece to avoid steaming.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Once the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the edges, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
