Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness or peel if preferred. Cut the potatoes into wedges about 1/2-inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sesame oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spiced oil mixture.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the potatoes and mix gently to distribute them evenly.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up on all sides. The potatoes should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
