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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the potatoes and mix gently to distribute them evenly.

Step 6

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
