Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leaving the skin on, cut each potato into evenly sized wedges, about 8 wedges per potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the sesame seeds, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the sesame seed mixture over the potatoes and toss again to ensure the wedges are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
