🥔 Crispy Oven-Baked Potato Wedges (Better Than Fries!)
🧾 Ingredients:
4 large potatoes (russet work best)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp onion powder (optional)
2 tbsp cornstarch (secret for extra crispiness!)
Optional: grated parmesan + chopped parsley
👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat oven
Set to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Cut the potatoes
Wash and slice into wedges or thick fries (keep the skin on for extra texture).
Soak (optional but recommended)
Soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes → removes starch → makes them crispier.
Dry VERY well after.
Season
Toss potatoes with:
Olive oil
Cornstarch (this is the game changer 🔥)
All spices
Arrange
Spread in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
Bake
Bake 25–30 minutes
Flip halfway through
Bake until golden and crispy
Finish (optional)
Sprinkle parmesan + parsley right after baking.
😋 Tips for EXTRA crisp:
Don’t skip drying the potatoes
Use high heat
Give them space on the tray
Cornstarch = crunchy coating magic
