How to Make Crispy Herb Potato Wedges
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges, aiming for uniform thickness for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and parsley until evenly coated.
- Spread the potato wedges 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.
- 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
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Make sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly with a towel before tossing them in oil and seasoning.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; this ensures even cooking and helps achieve that crispy texture.
Easy Variations
- Spicy Wedges: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a kick.
- Cheesy Wedges: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Herb Blend: Experiment with other herbs like rosemary or oregano for different flavor profiles.
What to Serve With It
- Grilled burgers or veggie burgers
- Crispy fried chicken or baked chicken thighs
- Tacos or pulled pork sandwiches
- A fresh side salad for a lighter meal
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through and crispy again.
