Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut each one into wedges. Do this by cutting the potato in half lengthwise, then into quarters, and finally into eighths.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.
Spread the potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender inside.
While the wedges are baking, prepare the cilantro lime mayonnaise. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic until well combined.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning if needed by adding a pinch of salt or a bit more lime juice for tanginess.
Once the potato wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Serve the potato wedges warm with the cilantro lime mayonnaise on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro if desired.
