Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Place the cut side down on the cutting board and slice each half into four wedges, making a total of eight wedges per potato.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix until a paste-like consistency is achieved.
Step 5
Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss well to ensure every wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
Step 7
Arrange the potato wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. This helps them bake evenly and become crispy.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Step 9
Check for doneness: The wedges should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Bake for an additional few minutes if needed.
Step 10
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
