Enjoy these crispy baked potato wedges, a healthier and flavorful twist on classic pub fries.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges, about a quarter-inch thick.
Keeping the skin on adds texture and nutrients to the wedges.
In a mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Mixing in a bowl ensures all wedges are evenly seasoned.
Arrange the seasoned wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Spacing the wedges allows them to crisp up better during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Flipping the wedges halfway ensures they cook evenly on both sides.
For extra crispiness, broil the wedges for an additional 2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Broiling adds a golden, crispy finish to the wedges.
Serve the crispy potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving immediately ensures the wedges retain their crispiness.
