Instructions

How to Make Crispy Potato Wedges

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the perfect crispy texture.

2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for more flavor and nutrients. Cut each potato into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).

3. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure each wedge is evenly coated for maximum flavor.

4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned potato wedges out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded for the crispiness.

5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Prepare the Spicy Dip

6. Mix the Dip Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt or sour cream, mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth.

7. Serve: Once the potato wedges are done baking, serve them hot with the spicy dip on the side.

Tips and Variations

• Make It Cheesy: Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra cheesy flavor.

• Add Variety: Experiment with different spices like cayenne pepper or chili powder for a kick.

• Serving Suggestions: These potato wedges pair perfectly with grilled meats, sandwiches, or even as a fun appetizer during parties. They are also fantastic served with a variety of dips such as ranch, tzatziki, or just a good old ketchup!
