Ingredients

How to Make Crispy Herb Potato Wedges

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges, aiming for uniform thickness for even cooking.
3. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and parsley until evenly coated.
4. Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. 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
