Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
How to Make Herb-Roasted Potato Wedges
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature ensures the wedges get crispy.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato) for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder. Mix well.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the herb mixture.
- Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking. This removes excess starch.
- Use a mix of dried herbs if fresh herbs aren’t available; just use about a teaspoon of each.
- Don’t skip the flipping step halfway through baking; it helps them cook evenly.
Easy Variations
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little kick.
- Parmesan lovers: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy twist.
- Sweet potato swap: Use sweet potatoes instead of russet for a slightly sweeter flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Juicy burgers or grilled chicken for a classic combo.
- A fresh salad for a light and balanced meal.
- Dipping sauces like garlic aioli or spicy ketchup for an extra flavor boost.
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 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness.
