How to Make Crispy Roasted Potato Wedges
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges, aiming for 8 wedges per potato.

- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
- Spread the potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and roasting. Dry them thoroughly before tossing with the oil and spices.
- Make sure your potato wedges are cut uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary to allow proper air circulation.
Easy Variations
- Spice it up: Add cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy kick.
- Cheese lovers: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges in the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy finish.
- Herbaceous twist: Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for varied flavors.
What to Serve With It
- Grilled chicken or steak for a hearty meal.
- A fresh garden salad for a lighter option.
- Dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or ketchup for added flavor.
