Seasoned Baked Potato Wedges are easy to make and incredibly delicious. They pair perfectly with steaks or burgers, or can be enjoyed as a stand-alone satisfying appetizer.
Ingredients
Directions
Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with savory seasoning, these homemade potato wedges are the kind of side dish everyone reaches for first. They’re incredibly easy to make, use simple pantry staples, and bake up beautifully golden every time. Whether you’re serving them with burgers, grilled chicken, a juicy steak, or enjoying them as a snack or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, these seasoned potato wedges deliver the perfect balance of flavor and crunch. This recipe walks you through each step so you can make restaurant‑style wedges right at home.
Prepare the potatoes by giving them a good scrub, then cut each one into 4–6 large wedges, keeping them as even as possible so they cook uniformly.
Add the potato wedges to a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, which makes the wedges crispier when cooked.
While the potatoes soak, make the seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, dried parsley, and cayenne pepper (if using).
After 30 minutes, preheat your oven to 425°F. Drain the water and thoroughly dry the potato wedges with a clean towel. Any remaining moisture will lead to soggy potatoes, so make sure they’re completely dry before seasoning or cooking.
Drizzle the potato wedges with vegetable oil, then sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the top. Toss well to coat—using gloved hands is especially helpful if your seasoning includes cayenne or other spicy ingredients.
Spread the potato wedges out on a baking sheet in a single layer, then bake for 35–45 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Make sure to turn them halfway through for even browning.
Enjoy!
