Golden potato wedges with crisp edges and creamy insides, oven-baked and perfectly seasoned.

# Ingredients List:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 large russet potatoes
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Optional Garnish

07 - Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme, chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 425°F and allow it to preheat fully.
02 - Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise into evenly sized wedges.
03 - Add the potato wedges to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the wedges.
04 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
05 - Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through the baking time for even browning.
06 - Remove the potato wedges from the oven once they are golden and crisp. Let cool briefly, then garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.

# Extra Information:

01 - For enhanced crispiness, soak cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes prior to seasoning and baking.
02 - Serve with dips such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or spicy aioli to complement the potato wedges.
