Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder (optional for heat)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges by cutting it in half lengthwise and then cutting each half into 3-4 equal-sized wedges, depending on the size of the potato.

Step 3

Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and chili powder (if using). Mix well.

Step 5

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potato wedges, ensuring they are evenly coated. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the potatoes in the spices until every wedge is well-seasoned.

Step 6

Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap for even crisping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 8

Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or smoky barbecue sauce.
