How to Make Crispy Herb-Roasted Potato Wedges
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and chives.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.
- Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Choose russet potatoes for the best texture.
- Make sure the wedges are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
- Don’t skip the flipping step; it ensures even browning.
- For extra crunch, consider soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning.
Easy Variations
- Spice it up: Add cayenne pepper or chili powder for a kick.
- Cheese lover: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Sweet twist: Use sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
What to Serve With It
- Grilled chicken or steak for a hearty meal.
- Burgers or sandwiches for a casual gathering.
- A fresh salad for a lighter option.
- Dipping sauces like garlic aioli or ranch for extra flavor.
