Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (chopped)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for ranch dressing)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for ranch dressing)

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, leaving the skin on, and cut each potato into 8 wedges.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a seasoning oil.

Step 4

Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the wedges for an extra salty, savory kick during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Step 8

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the ranch dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth.

Step 9

Add the fresh dill, parsley, chives, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir to combine.

Step 10

Taste the ranch dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Step 11

Once the potato wedges are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Serve the spicy potato wedges warm with the chilled ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
