Description
These crispy and flavorful baked potato wedges are made with russet potatoes tossed in olive oil and a blend of garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Perfectly golden and tender on the inside, they're a delicious homemade alternative to restaurant-style wedges, with an optional sprinkle of vegan parmesan for added zest.
Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 russet potatoes
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
Optional
- grated vegan parmesan, such as Violife brand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a large baking pan with oil to prevent sticking.
- Prep the potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to clean. On a cutting board, slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut those halves into thirds or fourths lengthwise at an angle, depending on the size of your potatoes, to create wedge shapes.
- Toss with seasonings: Place the cut potato wedges along with olive oil, minced garlic (or garlic powder), onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt into a large resealable bag or large bowl. Seal the bag and shake well to evenly coat all wedges with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange and bake: Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, flipping the wedges once halfway through baking to promote crispy edges on all sides.
- Check doneness and serve: The wedges are done when they are golden brown on the outside and easily pierced with a fork. Remove from oven, sprinkle grated vegan parmesan on top if desired, and serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy your crispy homemade potato wedges!
Notes
- These potato wedges come out perfectly crisp and tender with simple seasoning and baking.
- You can substitute fresh minced garlic with garlic powder if preferred.
- For an air fryer option, cook the wedges at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Using russet potatoes gives you the best texture with a crispy outside and fluffy inside.
- Grated vegan parmesan is optional but adds a nice cheesy flavor without dairy.
- Serve with ketchup, vegan mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
