Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 small, minced Garlic clove
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Spread the potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning if needed by adding a pinch of salt or a bit more lime juice for tanginess.
Step 8
Once the potato wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 9
Serve the potato wedges warm with the cilantro lime mayonnaise on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro if desired.
