Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 4 medium potatoes
Oil and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) vegetable oil
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Dips:
- Ketchup
- Vegan ranch mayo dip
- Sriracha mayo
Instructions
- Gather your equipment by lining two baking trays with parchment paper and heating the oven to 350°F (180°C), ensuring optimal top and bottom heating without fan circulation.
- Transform fresh potatoes into rustic wedges by first halving them lengthwise, then slicing each section into uniform triangular shapes approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Create a flavor foundation by gently drizzling vegetable oil over the raw potato wedges in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Infuse the wedges with a dynamic seasoning blend, sprinkling paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper across the surface.
- Thoroughly massage the seasonings into the potato surfaces, ensuring each wedge receives a comprehensive and even coating of spices and oil.
- Distribute the seasoned wedges onto prepared trays, strategically placing them in a single layer without overcrowding to promote optimal roasting and crispy texture.
- Slide the trays into the center oven rack and roast for 25-35 minutes, implementing a midway rotation to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration and consistent crispness.
- Remove the potatoes once they achieve a beautiful amber hue and satisfying crunch, allowing them to rest momentarily before serving.
- Present the roasted wedges alongside complementary dipping sauces like zesty ketchup, creamy vegan ranch mayo, or spicy sriracha mayo for an enhanced culinary experience.
Notes
- Pat potatoes completely dry after washing to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
- Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho for the crispiest exterior and fluffy interior.
- Preheat baking trays with a light coating of oil to create an instant sizzle when wedges touch the surface, promoting better browning.
- Space wedges at least 1/2 inch apart to allow hot air circulation, preventing soggy spots and ensuring even, golden-brown roasting.
