Ingredients
  

For the Wedges:
  • 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons oil (vegetable, peanut, or avocado)

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp Knife
  • Large Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is crucial for achieving that golden crispiness we all love.
  2. Step 2: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Keep the skins on for extra texture and flavor!
  3. Step 3: Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges, aiming for uniform thickness (about 1-inch wide).
  4. Step 4: In a large bowl, combine the paprika, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add the potato wedges and drizzle with the oil. Toss everything together until well-coated.
  5. Step 5: Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring enough space between them for optimum crisping.
  6. Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Step 7: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet.
  • Feel free to customize the spices to your taste, adding chili powder for a kick!
  • These wedges can be frozen; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
