Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each potato into wedges by slicing them in half lengthwise, then slicing each half into 3-4 wedges depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potato wedges and toss them until all the wedges are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges when done.
Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, ranch, or sour cream.
