Ingredients
Scale
Potato Wedges
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3/4 tsp paprika powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
For Serving
- Ketchup
- Vegan ranch mayo dip
- Sriracha mayo
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the wedges.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Cut each medium potato into wedges by slicing in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 wedges depending on potato size.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with vegetable oil, paprika powder, onion powder, garlic powder (if using), salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased tray to prevent sticking.
- Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-40 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Check for Doneness: The potatoes are done when they are golden brown on the outside and tender inside. You can test by piercing with a fork or knife.
- Serve: Serve the roasted potato wedges hot with ketchup, vegan ranch mayo dip, or sriracha mayo on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For crispier wedges, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference, adding more paprika or garlic powder if desired.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with olive oil for a healthier option.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
- If you want a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
