Golden, crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside potato wedges baked to perfection with savory spices and a hint of garlic.
3 large russet potatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch or semolina (optional)
Optional toppings: chopped parsley, grated Parmesan
Scrub and slice potatoes into wedges. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Drain and dry the wedges thoroughly.
Toss with oil, seasonings, and cornstarch.
Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 20 minutes, flip, then bake another 15–20 minutes until crisp.
Serve hot with herbs or cheese if desired.
Soaking is essential for crispiness.
Use parchment or grease the pan well.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crunch.
