Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

How to Make Crispy Herb-Roasted Potato Wedges

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 wedges, creating a total of 32 wedges.
3. In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges, olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, chives, and garlic powder (if using). Toss until the wedges are evenly coated.
4. Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for maximum crispiness.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges 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 seasoning and baking. This helps remove excess starch.
• Make sure to cut the wedges evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
• Use a high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
• If you prefer a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the seasoning mix.

Easy Variations

• Try using different herbs, such as rosemary or parsley, for a new flavor profile.
• Add grated Parmesan cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy twist.
• Experiment with spices like chili powder or Italian seasoning for a different taste.
• Swap russet potatoes for sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter version.

What to Serve With It

• Serve alongside grilled chicken or steak for a hearty meal.
• Pair with a fresh salad for a lighter option.
• Great with burgers or sandwiches for a casual dinner.
• Enjoy as an appetizer with dipping sauces like ranch or aioli.
